FEED THE MINDS 

Feed the Minds' vision is "A world in which all people everywhere have the opportunity to live life in all its fullness". We run practical education projects with local partners; to help adults gain knowledge, skills and confidence that transforms their lives. Each project covers either health education, work skills, civic education, peacebuilding or practical theological education.
