Mission Statement.
To release hope and healing in Jesus’ name by sharing God’s love with, and improving the lives of the poor of Latin America.
Our Story.
The Faith Project International is a tax-exempt not-for-profit organization born out of the desire of the Brad and Christina Cowherd to improve the lives of the poor of Latin America.
Brad and Christina served as Peace Corps volunteers in Guatemala and feel God's call to continue to serve the needs of the under served.
Our programs.
Currently, we have two programs, the Stove Program and the Scholarship Program.
The Stove Program.
This program builds efficient wood burning stoves in the homes of participant families. Often, rural families still cook over open fires in enclosed kitchens the way their ancestors have for centuries. This leads to respiratory illness and shortened lifespans from prolonged smoke inhalation and leads to rapid deforestation.
The Scholarship Program.
This program provides direct assistance to families of girls ages twelve to twenty five to pay for sixth grade to college. Often, rural families don't have the resources available to allow every family member to attend school, and education is public only until fifth grade. Girls especially aren't often afforded the opportunity to study.
