The Calling Behind the Work

A revelation carried into action

Feed My Sheep began with the words Jesus spoke to Peter: "Feed my sheep." In 1995, Apostle Mignonne Kabera started carrying food to mothers in hospitals, and saw that food alone was not enough. That conviction became a whole-family program in Kagugu, sustained to this day by Noble Family Church and Women Foundation Ministries.

Thirty years later, the calling has not changed. It has grown: from hospital corridors to a centre where the child is nourished, the mother is equipped, and the family stands on its own.

Kagugu is the most populated cell in Kigali, inside Kinyinya, the most populated sector in all of Rwanda. This is no accident of geography. God planted His center where the need is densest, where the most children and mothers live within reach of one open door.
"Jesus said to him the third time, 'Simon, son of John, do you love me?' … Jesus said to him, 'Feed my sheep.'" John 21:17 · the word this ministry is built on

Rwanda's National Challenge

From 33% to 15% by 2029

Rwanda's NST2 sets a bold target to reduce stunting among children under five. Reaching it means hundreds of thousands more children can grow, learn and contribute at their full potential, and it will take every hand, including yours.

Understanding the Pressure

Stunting is rarely caused by one thing

Extreme poverty, unstable income, food insecurity, limited access to nutrition knowledge and household stress can converge around one child. Feed My Sheep does not judge the family. We walk with them toward a lasting solution.

01

Extreme poverty

Kitchens that empty before the month does; parents choosing between rent and food.

02

Food insecurity

Meals that depend on the day, not on a plan. Children eat what is available, not what they need.

03

Limited nutrition support

No one has shown the family what a growing child truly needs. Knowledge is missing, not love.

04

Household instability

Unstable income and stress at home converge, and the youngest child carries the weight.

Recognition & Alignment

The Feed My Sheep Family Pathway

The child and mother enter together.
They graduate together.

Treating the child alone is not enough. For six months, Feed My Sheep supports the child's recovery and the mother's path to independence at the same time.

The child is nourished

From the red zone to healthy growth and school readiness
1
Nutritious meals, Monday to Friday
2
Health checks and tracked growth milestones
3
School enrolment and school-fee support
4
Hygiene, care and consistent follow-up

The mother is equipped

From daily pressure to skills, confidence and sustainable income
1
A nourishing meal, counselling and family support
2
Nutrition, parenting and clean-living classes
3
Tailoring, soap-making and food-production skills
4
Business mentorship and a cooperative

Graduation, together

The child reaches the green zone and enters school ready to learn. The mother crosses the same stage with a skill, a plan and a cooperative behind her.

Then, the cooperative

Graduate mothers join self-help cooperatives that keep earning, mentoring and supporting each other long after the program ends. Two are already running.

"All the believers were together and had everything in common… and the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." Acts 2:44-47 · the pathway is not new; it is how the Church has always fed its own
One Connected Journey

Six months that change what comes next

The pathway does not end at graduation. From the first assessment to the cooperative, every step is designed to carry the family forward, together.

"The last meal at the centre should never be the end of the family's progress."
01

Enrol together

Local leaders and health teams identify a child in need. Child and mother receive one assessment, and one family plan.

02

Nourish and learn

The child receives nutrition, health and education support while the mother learns practical livelihood skills.

03

Graduate and thrive

The child reaches growth milestones. The mother joins a cooperative, so progress continues long after the program ends.

Impact That Compounds

A child recovers. A mother earns.
A family stands.

Across 11 cohorts, children have reached growth milestones, mothers have built practical livelihoods, and graduates have formed cooperatives that carry the change beyond the centre, every number achieved without a single external donor. Imagine what partnership will do.
