Help feed hundreds of malnourished students and children in Mozambique

Help provide 5700 meals per week to hungry infants, children, orphans and widows.

Our 2025 campaign has launched!

We need your help!

  • We provide 5700 meals per week to hungry infants, children, orphans and widows.

  • Maize meal prices (the staple we use to feed all our kids) continue to rise.

  • This year, we need to purchase 4000 bags of corn, an increase from last year’s goal of 3800.

  • Funds must be in place by mid-September to avoid a shortfall that could lead to an emergency.

  • Your support doesn’t just feed children — it gives them a future!

Each unit represents 10 bags of corn.

*4000 bags of corn is equivalent to the $100,000 needed to keep our feeding program going in the coming year. While much of the food purchased will be corn, there will also be beans, milk, milk formula and supplies for fruit and vegetable production purchased. For tracking purposes, we will use bags of corn.

SAM Ministries has been feeding malnourished people in Mozambique for over 20 years.

Over the 20+ years since the SAM Ministries Feeding program started, it has grown and been able to provide food to malnourished people of all ages, thanks to a generous organization in Canada who heard about the need and partnered with us every year. However, with the challenges of COVID-19, they informed us they would not be able to continue their support. Four years ago, with help from people like you, we overcame this loss in funding and doubled our fundraising goal through the Steps to Stop Hunger program. For the past three years we surpassed our increased goals (due to rising food costs and drought) and again met the needs of the hungry we serve.

Steps to Stop Hunger is an annual fundraising program that serves as the primary means of funding the SAM Ministries Feeding program. Over the last few years, as our reach has expanded to include more children, we face the challenge of continuing to provide them with life-saving nutrition at increased food prices.

Our goal this summer is to raise $100,000 through “Steps to Stop Hunger” to continue meeting this critical need in Mozambique. Our program currently provides approximately 5700 meals per week to impoverished children, widows, and other malnourished people, and the needs are continually growing. Every year the mission buys 60 tons of corn, 10 tons of beans, milk, milk formula and supplies needed for our fruit and vegetable production to provide food for those in our program. Our own production plays a large part in providing added nutrition for our feeding program. To give you an idea, the mission grew 14 tons of fruit and vegetables for the program in 2022!

The funds raised will enable us to buy the corn, beans, milk, milk formula and supplies needed for our own fruit and vegetable production for next year. With your help, we can reach our goal and continue to feed hundreds of malnourished people in Mozambique.
