The agriculture domain targets disciples for Christ through initiating agriculture parnerships and initiatives that have sustainable impact locally in a variety of channels, while the health domain offers excellent and compassionate health care for the people. The ministry is currently working on an operating primary health care mobile clinic.
In more than two years, the Business department of HELP has trained and empowered more than 100 participants, including widows who either own their own business or wish to enter into partnership to begin self-sustaining enterprises. They have benefitted in micro-capital financing for their start-up businesses and expansion. Participants cut across different religious and cultural settings.
