Helping Africa Help Itself

Here at The Dirty Apron, we have a heart to see everyone have access to education, healthy and nutritious food, and more... whether that would be for our neighbours within our own city limits, or people living far away.

We feel privileged to have been chosen as the hosting venue by Coastal Church, who will be holding a fundraiser to benefit Joint Aid Management (JAM), an African founded and headquartered, Christian, international humanitarian relief and development organization, operating sustainable aid programmes targeting the most vulnerable people throughout the African continent. They operate on a fully inclusive basis, without discrimination of race, religion, gender, or political persuasion.

Their Vision: Help Africa Feed Itself

Their Mission: To empower Africans to create better lives for themselves.

Their Goals: Using a Complete Community Development Assistance approach to:

Save lives through the provision of nutritional food, water and sanitation.

Sustain lives through health and social programmes such as HIV/Aids training, small holder farmer assistance, basic skills development, nutrition and health education

Improve lives through education, technical training and transitional finance.

Create better lives by providing linkages to sustainable commercial business.

In August of 2017 Coastal Church will be sending a mission team to the informal township of Diepsloot in South Africa. While there, they will be rebuilding a preschool in partnership with Joint Aid Management (JAM) South Africa http://jamsa.co.za/. Once completed, the ‘mom’ of this preschool will have a safer, and healthier space to provide these children with a strong start in life.
