MissionAssist gives small grants to help fund a range of projects around the world. We aim to provide encouragement and support, particularly in areas where a small amount of money can make a big difference.

The projects we support must fit within our objectives as defined in our charity’s governing document:

  • Advance the Christian faith for the benefit of the public in accordance with the charity’s Statement of Belief.
  • Consistent with that first objective, provide or develop items, equipment, facilities and services for:
    • Preventing or relieving sickness and poor health.
    • Preventing or relieving financial hardship.
    • Promoting and providing education.

To give you an idea of what that can encompass, grants in recent years have included funding for:

  • Materials for a six month course of sewing training for more than 20 underprivileged women in Kenya, to enable them to start their own businesses and put food on the table.
  • Bibles and song books for a community in India who rely on daily wages and have no means to afford their own copies.
  • A retreat and training event for local leaders in an Asian country where there is religious discrimination and harassment.
  • Equipment for church members so they can juice, seal, label and store fruit as bottled juice, to reduce fruit going to waste and generate income as a small enterprise in West Africa.
  • The roof, door and windows to complete a water-tight building – an office and storeroom for crèche food and educational materials used in a feeding programme in an area with 2,500 children under the age of five in South Africa.

“Your grant is very helpful. Many were reading the Bible and knowing more about Jesus Christ. Thank you so much.”
