We empower vulnerable children, marginalized women, and communities through holistic care, advocacy, education, and economic empowerment, guided by the teachings of Christ.

Our initiatives encompass planning, rescuing, restoration, equipping, protection, prevention, and reintegration (3P3R1E).

 

Our Luketekelo Family Foundation and Faith Family Foundation in the USA provide a nurturing environment, building a home and school for street children and orphans in Mwampila village, Chibombo District on the 17.2 acres of farmland, empowering them with skills, discipline, and the love of Jesus Christ. Future plans include constructing a vocational training center in Mufumbwe for skills training and transformation programs, emphasizing agriculture to ensure food security on the 469.5 acres of farmland.

Everyone, regardless of race, gender, social class, disability or intelligence is created by God in His image, and created for a relationship with God. Because of sin that relationship was broken and all humanity was separated from God, the source of all life. Because of the fall of man, and sin, every person now falls under judgment. Jesus is the way the truth, and the life, and God will grant salvation and eternal life only for those who trust in Him. Salvation cannot be earned in any way but paid for alone by Christ's death on the cross and resurrection from the grave. 
​
Everything in the Luketekelo ministry is done by faith. Having known the love of God, we believe that He will complete the work that He starts. From the beginning, our founder Memory Grace Mangisha, had no idea how God would bring this ministry into existence, only a simple trust in God that He would direct and provide. Having seen God’s love and power at work in her own life, Memory has kept moving forward in faith, believing that it was indeed God’s will and calling to start this work.
