Programs

All AFCMFI programs are organized under five development areas called the HELPS Framework. Each pillar addresses a different dimension of a child’s growth — from physical health to academic success to life skills and family stability.

H — Health & Hygiene

Healthy children learn better and grow stronger. Our health programs bring basic medical and dental care to children and families who may not otherwise have access.

• Medical and dental missions
• Basic nutrition assistance during program activities
• Hygiene kit distribution
• Health education sessions

E — Education & Academic Support

Staying in school is one of the most important things a young person can do. We support children who are at risk of dropping out and celebrate every step forward.

• Sponsor-a-Child scholarship program
• School supply distribution
• Basic academic support and mentoring
• School retention monitoring

L — Life Skills & Leadership

Beyond academics, young people need practical skills and positive character to navigate adulthood. Our life skills programs help adolescents make good decisions, build discipline, and discover their strengths.

• Values-based clubs (including AWANA)
• Sports programs — Ballers for Christ (basketball), FaithServes Badminton
• Financial literacy sessions
• Career orientation activities
• Goal-setting workshops

P — Parenting & Protection

Children grow best in stable homes. We support parents and caregivers with practical tools, education, and awareness — because when parents are strengthened, children flourish.

• Parenting seminars
• Financial management workshops
• Child protection awareness sessions
• Family case monitoring by a licensed social worker

S — Social Engagement & Safe Spaces

Every child needs a safe place to belong. Our social programs create structured, supervised environments where children can learn, play, and build healthy relationships.

• Project LEAP (Learn, Eat, and Play) — a 10-month community-based program combining values formation, structured activities, and meal provision for children ages 6–12
• Youth engagement activities
• Community outreach events
• Supervised recreational spaces

How We Serve

We serve two age groups with tailored approaches:

Younger Children (Ages 4–11)

For younger children, we focus on building a strong foundation: health and hygiene education, school readiness, positive social behavior, and safe supervised environments through Project LEAP.

Older Youth (Ages 13–21)

For older youth, we focus on keeping them on track: academic retention, life skills development, guidance on positive decision-making, sports and leadership clubs, and the Sponsor-a-Child scholarship program.
