La Jolla Christian Fellowship (LJCF) collaborates with African leaders and Could You?. It is an African organization to enrich solutions to their issues. They also assist people in finding their particular way to solve poverty.

The church posted on their missions section that they believe changing the few could also transform the world. Christine Garde, the Executive Director and member of LJCF, stated that they focus on education and literacy. Also, she said that the mission centers on providing health and entrepreneurship to motivate the nation of Mozambique.

Local Church, Global Impact

LJCF missions touch the four sides of the world through their little corner in La Jolla. They assist individuals in need and guide them in knowing the gospel. One of their goals is to show others that they have the heart of Jesus.

As a church family, the website revealed organizations they support. They also encourage the congregations to participate in their local and global missions.

Could You?

According to the Could You? Mission's Section is a respected non-profit organization committed to ministering and finding solutions to poverty. They do this by helping people find their roles in solving the problem. They stated they are passionate about making holistic approaches. They are creating a better world for the next generations and doing business with integrity.

Education, Employment, Empowerment

The organization’s webpage revealed that 66% of learners in Mozambique completed their primary school. But they do not have proper reading skills. While 272,000 children, one kid below five years old every minute died from malaria in 2008.

Besides, they noted that 500 million women worldwide suffer from poverty.

Moreover, they highlighted that Mozambique remains one of the world's poorest. It is also the most underdeveloped nation. Because of the high rate of unemployment and falling families, Mozambique’s kids set the backdrop.

They added that the economic reliance on South Africa, severe drought, and continuous civil war had slowed the nation’s progress.

In addition, the Literacy section emphasized that there is 17 million school-aged youth in Mozambique.

They mentioned that among the 94% of girls enrolled in primary school, only one percent go on to higher education in university. The total number of female literacy is less than half that of males.

Another important note the website added is that 70% of all the girls in Mozambique did not receive an education. Meanwhile, they noted that 66% graduated from primary school without quality education for reading, writing, and math skills.

With the current political status, the website stated that many opportunities are opening with the economic rise and prosperous natural resources. However, the lack of literacy perpetuates a void of educated workers and stops locals from getting the benefits of foreign investment.

Organization’s Projections

Furthermore, the organization noted that its literacy program could affect 16.7 million school-aged kids over the next ten years since they said that 62% of the nation's population is between the ages of five and 25.

They foresee that there would be a 98% increase in literacy rates with their initiatives. At the same time, 85% of people are projected to have higher-paying jobs. Lastly, the group envisions having an entire generation of young people equipped to lead their country.
