Don and Janet Guizzetti Founders and Executive Staff
We provide Christ-centered, humanitarian aid to people in a single, painfully impoverished sub-Saharan nation that is the epicenter of violent Islamic insurgencies. Over two million internally displaced people (IDP), most evicted from subsistence farms, are struggling with increasingly unreliable rains and diminishing foreign food aid. Everyone suffers.
Don and Janet, our founders took early retirement, downsized their lives, and answered the call to serve on foreign missions. Called to serve in West Africa, they first managed a Bible translation and training center. When their tour was finished, they then continued full-time what they had been doing “on the side”—feeding babies and working in the community.
Our first baby, “Bienvenu” (“Welcome’ in French), resembled tiny bones in a brown cellophane bag. He was nearly dead-still in his mother’s trembling arms. Now, ten years later, he runs after a well-worn soccer ball with his friends, most a little taller than he. And we are now feeding 160-babies and doing so much more in a land where hunger is as close as your shadow.
