Legacy Mission Village

Programs: Mission trips/ opportunities to serve: legacy mission village (lmv) wants to create a legacy of a generation with a heart for service both domestically and overseas. Lmv invites you to participate in our mission trips to east africa every summer and highly encourages families to serve together. It is our dream that most of our mission trips be filled with family members from the same family so that families can foster the mission/vision of serving communities together.

us programs: in the us, legacy mission village serves as a bridge to connect refugees resettled in the middle tn area to their local community. This is done through several programs: - refugee journey program is an after school program for high school students. After the closing of the world relief nashville office, legacy mission village added several sites for high school refugee kids to its program, which increased tremendously the number of sites as well as number of students. - diaper connection (in partnership with nashville diaper connection) distributed over 25,000 diapers in 2017 to 500 children under 2 years. - free english classes are offered to different refugee communities. - mentoring program that is geared to connecting refugees to american families and churches for better assimilation to their new community. - kindergarten ready program that prepares refugee children to better adjust once enrolled in local schools. - life skills program that aims to help refugees adjust in their new environment.

east african programs: currently, legacy mission village (lmv) programs overseas are in rwanda and uganda. Our goal is to be able to reach small communities in east africa to empower them to their fullest potential according to their needs. In rwanda, lmv provides scholarships to orphans and vulnerable children through a partnership with the local presbyterian church. Through this partnership lmv is also committed to providing leadership training. Also lmv supports several feeding programs that cater to vulnerable children and children that are hiv+. Lmv also supports an income generating project for hiv/aids widows, who are mostly hiv+. These widows use the proceeds to better their families by providing education for their children and being able to purchase the mandatory healthcare insurance for their families. In uganda, through a partnership with kamwenge secondary/vocational school and partners in mission, lmv is able to provide scholarships for sudanese refugees in the western uganda whom would never have gotten a chance at high school education as there are none in refugee camps. Through this partnership, lmv also provides leadership training.
