We want to share with these children the knowledge of God's word and acceptance of the saving grace of Jesus Christ. With our diverse backgrounds in Education, Healthcare and Nutrition, we feel we can help develop their personalities by exposing them to practical knowledge of evangelism, management and leadership, nutrition and public health, farming and educational excellence.

Founder
Elijah was born in Kenya, Africa as the 8th member in a family of 9 children. His parents were peasant farmers who were unable to provide enough food, clothing and school fees without the occasional help of extended family members and well wishers. He was assisted to school up to the university to eventually become a high school teacher.

While in Kenya, Elijah witnessed many people die of AIDS/HIV, tribal wars, poverty and diseases; leaving behind many orphans. He was touched and started to share his vision with many schools, churches and villages preaching against sexual irresponsibility and has been a motivational preacher.

When at the university he helped start an inter-tribal university student outreach groups to enhance peace amongst different Kenyan tribes.

In Kenya, he has been a board member in many local groups that help disadvantaged children. Elijah having visited and spoken in different churches, schools and regions, he has always had a dream of starting a global partnership charitable movement to help the African orphans. This will give them a chance to have access to quality education, clothing, shelter and food. In December 2009, he started PFA.

He lives in the USA with his wife, Monica and their children, Rhonix and Ashley.
