Food for His Children, Inc

I was with the US group that went to Tanzania in March of 2024, and I was amazed at what I saw. The things that Jesus is doing for FFHC and their families is awesome! It was a very fulfilling trip and I hope to go back sometime to see more and more things that Jesus is doing there not just for all the families, but for the FFHC staff/workers as well. They are a phenomenal, hard working crew that is doing wonders for their families!

All the progress and contributions that FFHC gives to the community are amazing, they truly make you realize the power of just 1 USD (so if you are hesitating to contribute, don't hesitate and go for it, every cent will cause wonders). I have seen FFHC growth over the years and it is amazing. Things don't happen painlessly (truly hard work was required, risky work more than once too). Kerrie Holschbach ( founder) is fully committed to the cause and you can see and feel that, she truly loves the community and can't let them down, you will always see FFHC moving forward and further, so do not hesitate to volunteer with them and see the real social impact.

This organization is an amazing example of love and thoughtful support for the impoverished families of TZ, teaching agricultural skills that provide food and raise the standard of living for hundreds of families. The long-term planning is well thought out, seeking to become a self-sustaining organization through local entrepreneurial growth and pay-it-forward goat-breeding and creamery sales programs. Greatly deserving of our support!

Food For His Children provides Christ centetrf community development to families in Karatu, Tanzania. Helping families out of poverty through training and teaching families to overcome economic, health, and food insecurities. FFHC has a demonstration farm that shows how to grow crops through innovative agricultural practices with agronomy- plants, and animal science- goats. I have supported FFHC with financial support and agricultural support as an agricultural teacher. FFHC has a passion and deep passion and commitment for the Spiritual, Emotional, Physical, Mental well being of 10 different villages. They work in developing the people through Entrepreneurship, Savings Groups, Heath and Environment, Agriculture, and Animal Husbandry. The great hope is to transform the area through hope, innovation, education, and the love of Jesus. Hand-on/Minds-on organization that loves the people and pursues all areas for a better life through the adjectives - action through love, faith, and hope.

I've been volunteering with FFHC for about 12 years and experiencing the impact that this program has on peoples lives is amazing. I've personally seen someone who felt the world left them behind to being a top, respective member of the community due to the FFHC staff and the program working with them to pursue their dreams. Real change in a persons life takes time, and FFHC takes that time to continually encourage and support the participants in the program.

Now celebrating their 15th year, Food for His Children has reached over 600 families in rural Tanzania. By gifting a goat to qualifying families, FFHC creates relationships with them and continues to work side by side with families. It's not an organization that just gives something to the poor, but rather they help set goals, provide trainings, assist in creating savings groups, and more for all their families. The staff works hard to listen to what their families are struggling with and helps with solutions. Families are required to do a pass on/ pass back so others can then also move out of poverty as well. Recently, the first phase of their farm and innovation center has been completed. This will allow continued trainings and new ones, a place for visitors to Tanzania to witness first hand goat products and more, allowing even more families to become all that God has created them to be.

I'm so very proud of the wonderful work being done by the goat families. The team works hard to teach them and coach them in being successful goat farmers. The families are very motivated and hungry for learning to improve things for themselves and their families. Nice to see the money you donate really go to help these families.

I first learned about "FOOD FOR HIS CHILDREN" about 15 years ago at church when Kerrie gave a presentation at Hosanna church in Bursnville, mn. She spoke with such passion about the "GOAT" ministry she was starting in Tanzania, Africa that I just knew that I had to help. "FOOD FOR HIS CHILDREN" has grown from one person with a vision to helping hundreds of people and from a part time job to a full time one. I spent some time with her 3 weeks ago and I can tell you she is just as passionate to day as all thous years ago. she is a young lady that has been touched by "GOD" to help his CHILDREN and she is doing just that..
If you have a heart to help people have a better life then I can think of no other ministry to fund

As a volunteer and board member, for Food For His Children, I have been able to travel to Tanzania three times, to see the impact they are making in rural Tanzania. FFHC doesn’t go in to fix a problem, they are able to go in and walk side-by-side with the recipients of a dairy goat. They have them set goals, work within their own village to be part of a entrepreneurship group, and a savings group just to name a few things.FFHC change lives with a dairy goat, allowing people to be all that God has created them to be. As a volunteer, I am able to pray for our families, meet them, and continue to support them in their journey. Relationships are built, and children are loved on, when we visit. Many times, having a dairy goat, provide families the money to send their children to school, to increase their health with the milk from the goat, and to break the chain of poverty for so many. My heart is filled with joy when I meet our families, and listen to their stories pray with them, and remind them, that they are a child of God, and loved by Him. I look forward to traveling to Tanzania at least once a year to continue to see the impact that Food For His Children has on so many.

Food For His Children is one of the best holistic ministries I've known! They really see growth as long term walking alongside a family/community and look at the whole person - body, soul and spirit. Food For His Children is a "hand up" type of ministry.
Knowing Kerrie and multiple FFHC leaders personally, I can confidently say they are amazing leaders of integrity that lead with wisdom and vision.

Food for his Children (FFHC) helps the poorest of the poor in rural Tanzania, starting with a gift of a dairy goat together with training about how to care for the goats along with agricultural training to grow food. FFHC then send field officers to meet with families regularly to help them set goals to achieve their goals of building a brick house, sending their children to school, or running a small business. FFHC also provides entrepreneurship training, savings groups, medical insurance and training to make a healthy home with latrines, hand washing stations and water purification devices!

Just this year, FFHC completed Phase 1 of its Farm and Innovation Center to work towards self-sufficiency for its programs. The farm will breed goats instead of buying them, as well as training families in animal husbandry and agricultural techniques. The completed center will have demonstrations for making a healthy home, a community center as well as office space for FFHC Tanzanian staff.

To date, FFHC has helped 627 families become what God intended them to be!

Very impressive impact model for microfinancing dairy goats, along with providing wrap-around support through entrepreneurship training, pastoral education, and other personal care services. 627+ families lifting themselves out of extreme poverty with a chance a better future. Plus, FFHC's new Farm and Innovation Center shows real promise of one day sustaining all the programs by providing real a real hands-on learning experience to Tanzanian students and tourists.

I was scheduled to travel to Tanzania with FFHC in March of 2020. While we didn't get to go then, in God's perfect timing we are scheduled to travel in just a few weeks. In the meantime, I've had a front row seat to this organization for over 2 years now. I've been witness to how FFHC has handled the COVID crisis and has continued to journey with the families in rural Tanzania. I love to get updates from FFHC and I so appreciate that they are constantly looking for ways to involve Tanzania families to empower them to reach their goals- FFHC does WITH the people in their program rather than doing FOR them...

I have been working with FFHC in field for 5 weeks in Tanzania and more than 9 months before executing the water project.

This organization is one of the best I had the pleasure to work with.
Its workers are extremely professional, they take care of absolutely every detail to fulfill the objective of their mission. Teamwork and camaraderie is a sign of identity and I would repeat a thousand times working with them.

A very meaningful experience!
The Food for His Children is much more than a "Diary Goat Project". FFHC has developed a powerful and meaningful ways to fight poverty among many vulnerable families in Tanzania using an holistic approach, As a capacity building and partnership person from The Small Tanzania Inc. I had a two different days visit at FFHC where I had a time to learn the FFHC programs and also had a productive partnership discussion with the team. FFHC is sensitive to the government and international guidelines around their work. Honorina, Chris and Samson were so knowledgeable about their work and very welcoming. I highly recommend the Food For His Children Organization; it's a must do when you want to volunteer/work or fund a program/project in Tanzania.

I have seen families' life transformed from extreme povery level to the middle income level just bylittle goat donations to the households. Its one of the best approach i have never experianced since working with local NGOs in Tanzania.Its worth a Donation

I have worked with Food For His Children for 11 years. FFHC has a worthy mission to empower the people of rural Tanzania to be all that they were created to be. Transforming communities and ending extreme poverty is a generational process. FFHC has impacted 100's of lives and made a big difference in the community by walking along side the people, offering a goat, providing education and support. Change is slow and hard but it is happening one person, one family at a time. Through FFHC more families have healthier meals, more children are able to go to school, and more people now have hope for the future.

Food for His Children (FFHC), a non-profit NGO which works towards equipping children, families and communities to be all God created them to be. Its work is guided by faith and scriptures. Most recently I had a chance to visit their offices in Karatu, Tanzania and was overwhelmed by the wonderful work they do. In the last few years, FFHC have helped many people and church leaders in Tanzania using their concept of empowering the rural communities.

Their most effective way to empowering the local communities is through sustainable goat farming. It begins with one goat farm and later on blossoms into a community of sustainable goat farms. The FFHC’s holistic community development aims at seeing entire villages empowering each other to live out their gifts and passions. More importantly, FFHC wants to see communities who are able to care for themselves and each other in ways that honor and glorify God.

Of their most recent project, FFHC has recently been working to establish a farm project, with a goal of facilitating its work in the area. The farm will contain a local store for FFHC to sell products produced on the farm and a training center to offer hands-on education to program recipients and community members. FFHC is currently looking for help in order to develop this farm. You can help them out towards this goal by visiting their website at https://foodforhischildren-bloom.kindful.com/

I have several charities I try and keep up with. This is one that makes me so happy every time I get updates. The whole goat play it forward is a great idea in my book. You're not giving hand outs, you're giving a hand to help live a better life with dignity. God bless pastor Kerry and staff.

Giving to FFHC makes a direct impact on families in poverty. It’s not just a “handout” but rather a program that provides families with the tools to overcome poverty with dignity and strengthened fellowship with the Lord.

Food for His Children is the result of it's founder risking taking a mission trip to Tanzania, East Africa, 15 years ago. Her heart was opened and enlarged by the hope she saw in the eyes and voices of the people there. Hope for a better future for their family and themselves. But how? Kerrie Holschbach prayerfully identified a means to give them a better life. Give them a milk producing goat.
Specific requirements come with the goat. Training on care, building a shelter, obtaining proper feed, and distribution of milk. Completion of requirements leads to a sense of responsibility, achieved goals, improved self worth and food for their children. Excess milk can be sold or bartered for other needs. The program allows for participants to gain additional goats which has allowed children to go to school, access to health care, safer homes to be built and better communities. Food For His Children is an amazing and outstanding program meriting wide support and recognition.

I have donated to FFHC for many years. I have watched it grow from just a handful of families and goats to the hundreds it helps today. The founders and staff have such enormous hearts for improving the lives of the poorest families in Tanzania and giving them means to support themselves and better their lives. Through FFHC, God is meeting people's physical, financial and spiritual needs and helping dreams come true.

I've always been impressed with the organization's resourcefulness, perseverance and vision. With founders and board members from the U.S., FFHC has continually overcome unforeseen obstacles, cultural differences and business requirements in Tanzania to scale its operations and serve more people.

I continue to give to FFHC because I know my donations are making a difference in ways I cannot personally. Thank you, FFHC, for that opportunity.

As a donor and volunteer, I am proud to be part of Food for His Children. I know first hand that Kerrie and Rob, staff, Board and volunteers are the most hard working, dedicated folks I have ever met. What began as a program to help families in Tanzania improve nutrition and their economics by giving them a goat, has grown and and multiplied. Under Kerrie's leadership, vision and endless energy FfHC empower peoples, gives families hope, improves health and helps people grow spiritually. My daughter has traveled with Kerrie and as a teacher has helped with staff training and worked with the local schools. The work FfHC does is priceless and I am richly Blessed to be part of God's work in action.

The great thing about Food for His Children is that God has been using all of us to bless people in Karatu, Tanzania in different ways. The most powerful thing in life when trying to help anyone is to empower people in Karatu so that they can help themselves. With the blessing from everyone by contributing money, time, consultation etc., we see God is continuing to do wonderful things. As a board member, I am delighted to continue helping my people in Karatu to have better lives than they do now especially in the rural areas.

I’ve supported this organization for many years as a friend and supporter to its leadership team. FFHC has the utmost care for its staff, clients and community. Its leaders are responsible, honest, and trustworthy. It’s programs are created to truly serve their communities with a focus on holism and service. I highly recommend FFHC to anyone considering supporting their great mission!

Food for His Children almost is life changer Organization in our country Tanzania. I have been working with them as a volunteer since 2009 while in Bassodawish parish as senior pastor. I know many families who their lives was changed from extreme poverty and now they can afford to have two meals a day, they can send their children to schools, they are living in a good house and many things. This is not only an organization it is God's hand that feed hunger people.

Excellent organization and serving for a very worthwhile cause. They have a worthwhile job and driven to help their fellow man, being a light unto the world. They really are making a difference.

Kerrie is the hardest executive director I have ever worked with. She is creative, energetic, is constantly working to care well for her staff and her mission, always open to new thoughts and ideas and is a learner. I respect all she has built and breathed life into her mission, helping hundreds of families in Tanzania.

I would like to recommend, "Food for His Children", as an established non-profit that is a christian based organization. They work in the Aruza Tanzania area of Africa and provide a pathway for poor families to receive a young milking goat for them to raise. With, time, and training skills provide through FFHC, they can provide milk for their families and schooling for their children. They had a really good video this year that can tell the story better then I can. Please check out the video about , "Bernadeth's Story" by FFHC - Dave Peterson

Food For His Children does a great job of helping people physically, mentally, and spiritually, working within the Tanzanian culture. The leaders are passionate about serving and do it well!

I’m so impressed with this organization which began as just an dream and has grown into something amazing! Giving the gift of a goat and training has transformed so many lives in Tanzania! I love how they teach people how to care for their goats and yet have expectations for each family to also share a goat and teach others too! God must certainly be smiling down on FFHC!

This is my favorite mission because they do so much to connect me to the missions with their work on Facebook and other communications. I feel like I know exactly how my money is being spent. What they do is train families how to care for a goat, and then give them a goat. The families served do not seem to be starving, but they do not get enough protein. When the children add goat milk to their diets their health dramatically improves.

I've been supporting Food for His Children for the past few years and find their work to be so inspiring. Kerrie and her group have such a great organization that puts so much effort into directly improving the lives of those they help by not just giving them resources, but by also teaching them to be self-sustaining and to pay that forward. The stories of the people they help and the work they do are so heartening.

One day I went to interview Pastor Kerrie for a video about Food For His Children. The last thing on TV and I headed out the door was a commercial for an expensive SUV vehicle and how we all must have one. Then Pastor Kerrie told me about how people's lives in Tanzania can be helped tremendously with just the addition of a goat. And it doesn't cost very much to help an entire family with just a goat. I went from day-dreaming about a new Range Rover to just wanting to help a family far away. Thank you, Food For His Children, for all that you do to make this possible. I know that families will be helped thanks to you Pastor Kerrie & Rob & the entire FFHC team! Thank you! Bob & Susan

Food For His Children is a great organization that is providing outstanding support in rural areas of Tanzania. The founder and executive director Kerrie, her husband Rob and the staff are very passionate about helping families in need in Tanzania. FFHC starts by giving a goat along with veterinary support and agricultural training. Each goat changes the lives of these families by providing milk to consume and to sell for income. In addition, FFHC transforms communities by helping them maintain a strong relationship with God and one another.

Volunteering for FFHC has been one of the most rewarding and an amazing learning experience of my life. Kerrie and Rob are appreciative, caring and encouraging of volunteers. It is inspiring to see how many were affected by their phenomenal work and the difference they are making. I am very proud to be part of this organization that has such an impact.

Phenomenal! A non-profit that is changing lives on so many levels.

Food for His Children is the real deal. Kerrie is changing lives, with one goat at a time. She has a sound business plan and is executing on that plan each day. Kerrie and the people Kerrie works with are passionate about creating lasting change in the hearts and lives of all Gods people.

We depend in each they depend from you and you depend from them to have the blessing, all we are doing is for God creation. Let’s know they depend on us and we need them to see the God, we real need them.

FOOD FOR HIS CHILDREN come alongside the circumstance and that environment, by starting with training the better use of environment to master the circumstance that make them poor and by giving them dairy goat for sustainable, but them alone as FOOD FOR HIS CHILDREN they cannot make it, we need to participate to that changes.
Let us go alongside FOOD FOR HIS CHILDREN just because we all cannot go at a site/village to help and Gadget the change, we need to trust the work doing by FOOD FOR HIS CHILDREN and we participate though donating to them so they can go and save those community.
The community is blessing but they need you to show the way, Donate and you will be showing the way to make their children go to school, their life to be better than it was, to have better treatment, to enjoy being in his blessing word that your enjoying to.
