The Village of Jewels
Our story is one of survival, service, and resilience.
Our Origins
It was duty. Born from a family lineage of community Elders & Missionaries, Pastor Lena taught us that when your neighbour falls, you don't just watch; you run. You act. You serve.
Today, Feed My Sheep is more than a shelter. It is a fortress of care for the most valuable, standing ready for the storms of life and nature.
2026 Vision
We are intentionally shifting Feed My Sheep (FMS) from a model of short-term relief to one of long-term impact. While we remain committed to serving those in need, we are also building income-generating and capacity-strengthening programs that allow FMS to sustain its own operations.
This approach reduces dependency on donations alone and empowers the organization to fund, expand, and steward its mission with greater stability—transforming dependency into self-sufficiency through sustainable initiatives.
The Jewels
The world loves stars. We love jewels. These are the quiet workers, the ones who stay when the cameras leave.
