who we areEvery Home for Christ (EHC) began 66 years ago with the aim to put a piece of gospel literature in every home on earth. EHC staff and trained volunteers around the world have distributed literature door-to-door in 205 nations with 101 nations completing at least one full coverage. On average, 200,580 homes are reached daily with 388,940 pieces of literature and EHC in New Zealand plays a part in this outreach. More detailed country reports are available in our monthly newsletters. Gifts given for Every Home for Christ work being carried out in New Zealand are tax deductible.

Every Home Global Concern grew out of Every Home for Christ and there was a name change that took place on the 28th January 2009 as community needs became apparent. An additional goal was added: to assist the poor and disadvantaged overseas to lift themselves out of poverty and this is achieved through community development programs which give men, women and children tools and training to be empowered to make changes that last and make a positive impact in their lives. These programs are outlined in this Annual Report. An application is before the NZ Parliament for tax deductibility for overseas aid gifts given to Every Home Global Concern.

Around the world in many developing countries children are marginalised and cannot help themselves. As a result, many of the Every Home for Christ/Global Concern development programs focus on children. In the last 12 months 1,295 children in Bangladesh, India, Kenya and Nepal have received a Primary School education through the Sponsorship Program and we are very grateful for the many child sponsors who have made this possible. In India & Bangladesh five schools provide the children with a daily nutritious meal so their families no longer need to send them out to work for food and this

encourages children to stay in the program. In the India school all education is in English. Child Protection training has been introduced into all the schools this year with ongoing training of staff to further protect these children. In India a health awareness program has been introduced which is training 300 mothers and fathers in child care and development. In the Health Program in Togo, 450 children have been vaccinated and have been trained (along with their mothers) in better health & hygiene practices.

bringing joy to the lives of men & women

2,645African men & women in Malawi & Zambia

enabled to grow crops, learn about health & hygiene, nutrition

and HIV/Aids, helping their families

out of poverty

The Food Security Program in northern Malawi and eastern Zambia has, this year, trained 2,645 men and women in more than 80 villages in modern farming methods, climate change, nutrition and irrigation, with the addition of income generation activities such as chicken and goat breeding in some villages. In just 12 months 1,040 families who previously lived in poverty with limited food resources have been able to increase their income and store food for the future as well as providing nutritious food to their children. The health and well-being of families (with 47% being children) is also improving as a direct result of building 65 toilets and 103 water wells and educating in health and hygiene practices. This year child protection training has been included as well as assisting 38 women's support groups and including 139 people with disabilities in the program.

bringing joy to the lives of men & women

Our aim is to give men and

women the tools so that they can lift themselves

out of poverty

What joy it gives people when they can see “ the light at the end of the tunnel”. For many of the poor around the world, all they need is an opportunity and this year you have been instrumental in helping Every Home for Christ/Global Concern increase the joy of the poor as they begin to find a way out of their misery ... from the slums of Bangladesh, a low-caste village in India, and impoverished villages in Malawi, Zambia and Togo. In 2013 an evaluation was done of the Bangladesh Community Development Program over the last 10 years to see what long-term difference it had made to educate children, train women in sewing and help men own their own rickshaw. The results were amazing!97% of the people evaluated recorded an increase in levels of income. (54% had not been earning any regular income before the program commenced). As the result of increased income 24% started their own business, 14% found permanent employment 6% bought land or a house and 17% of families were able to send their children for further education. 88% of the students surveyed completed Secondary School, 18% completed tertiary education and 24% reported finding permanent employment. An overwhelming result was that the people surveyed reported they are now “living well” . Many, many thanks for your financial support which has made all this possible and has literally changed lives!!!
