Two countries. One mission. So much beauty.

The Zoe Empowers storytelling team recently traveled through Zimbabwe and Mozambique, where we had the privilege of spending time with young people whose lives are being transformed through the program.

These two programs are only a few hours drive apart, yet each has its own unique beauty. Everywhere we went, we were met with the same thing: welcoming hearts, joyful spirits, and hope in a better future.

Consider this your invitation to come see it for yourself. The landscapes are stunning, the people are unforgettable, and the experience has a way of staying with you long after you’ve returned home. Our upcoming vision trip dates are available on our website. Link in first comment.

Join us on Wednesday, July 1 at 10 AM ET for a one-hour Zoom virtual trip to Kenya.

Not only will you meet the young people from the Updendo Mukorene group, but you'll also have the opportunity to visit a few of their businesses. See first hand how they generate income to support their families, a key component of the empowerment program.

There is no cost to attend—all you need to do is register (see link in comments). Feel free to invite friends and family to join this powerful experience.

Can't make it live? No problem, be sure to register anyways and we will send you the recording.

Right now, young people who have lost everything are waiting.

Waiting for someone to walk alongside them.

Waiting for the chance to rebuild.

Waiting for a future that feels possible again.

This spring, you can be the reason that waiting ends.

At Zoe Empowers, we don’t offer charity that fades. We build partnerships that restore dignity and create lasting change.

Empower a group, half group or one young person. Change lives for as little as $10/month.

Already a partner? Invite your church, Sunday school class, or others in your community to join you. Link in first comment ->

We’re excited to share Zoe Empowers’ 2025 Annual Review! 🎉

This year’s review highlights powerful stories from Zoe Empowers youth, independent research on our three-year empowerment program, and the incredible impact of a movement now active in 12 countries across Africa and India.

Because of your faithful support, more than 80,000 orphaned and vulnerable young people are moving from despair to hope. That’s not just a number—it’s transformed lives, renewed futures, and lasting change.

We are deeply grateful for each supporter, volunteer, and partner who makes this work possible. Your generosity is truly life-changing.

Thank you for standing with these young people—and for being part of what God is doing through Zoe Empowers. Link to full report in first comment.
