Mozambique

The seeds of F4O were born when a group of United Methodist volunteers from the New York conference visited Mozambique in 1998. In the aftermath of a devastating civil war they encountered 100,000 street children in Maputo, a city of 1 million.

In 2002 members of the church visited an orphanage in Teles where children lived in very trying conditions, 3-4 to a mattress. These volunteers included Wayne, our current executive director, and other volunteers who would later become F4O board members. They came back to the US with a vision of creating homes for children in different cities across Mozambique.
