About
IN A NUTSHELL
Who We Are – We are a Christian community care and community development organization serving in vulnerable communities in Southern Africa.
Who We Serve – The focus of our service is not only to the vulnerable (orphans, widows and the poor) in Africa but also to those wanting to come alongside them. We believe that all of us are in need of transformation. And so we desire to facilitate, educate and equip those seeking to be in relationship with the materially poor. We serve all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender.
How We Do it – We believe in a discipleship based model for transformation. So we look to develop and empower servant leaders seeking to be agents of redemption and restoration. We come alongside them equip and train them through experiential learning opportunities. We also identify churches and community leaders whom have already started working in their community and have a clear vision for the healing of their community. We come alongside them, and assist them to do, what they or we are unable to do alone. We seek to facilitate a relationship between caring people in the rest of the world and these vulnerable communities in Africa.
What We Do – While community care and development is the broad title of what we do, our work is specifically focused on widow and orphan care, a volunteer program, and various empowering partnership projects. We seek to empower individuals to transform their community.
In all of this we long to see the incredible love, compassion, grace and mercy of God made manifest in hurting places and hurting people. To continue to get a grasp of who we are, we invite you to read our vision and mission statement and view our ethos.

Dear friend, welcome to the Revolution!
Why Revolution? I confess I used to dislike the word “revolution”. It was too strong and overused by advertisers trying to sell everything from Chevy’s to blue jeans. Its political connotations are scary too and its use in pop culture just seems like the same old hype. But one day I saw it used in its rightful place and it resonated so deeply with me;
“The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us? When we begin to take the lowest place, to wash the feet of others, to love our brothers and sisters with that burning love, that passion, which led to the cross, then we can truly say, ‘Now I have begun’.” - Dorothy Day
This is the revolution I long for; a revolution of the heart that speaks of sacrificial love and sincere service, through authentic relationships. This is a passionate and powerful revolution. We at AR, believe that God is inviting each of us into this revolution.
