Welcome to the STEMM Website. We invite you to explore this site to learn about our ministry to the people of Tanzania.
Our primary motivation for this mission is Christ's words found in Matthew 25:40: "as you have done it to the least of these....you have done it unto Me." This Christ-centered mission is driven by the values of compassion, caring, commitment and change. We truly believe that by giving of ourselves and extending Christian love to our brothers and sisters half-way around the world, we can make a life-changing difference. By "giving back", we build a "bridge of hope" for those who have almost no hope. By sharing only a small part of our blessings, we can give them a future.
STEMM is multi-dimensional. Take just a quick look at the ministry and you will see its depth, its breadth, and its reach.
TRANSFORM
Surgically straightening the bow-legs of a child transforms him or her from an outcast to a valued member of society.
SEND
Sending a child to school plants the seed of potentiality in an otherwise "doomed to poverty" life.
RESCUE
Rescuing an orphan and providing food, clothing and shelter takes a child off the streets and implants hope into a hopeless situation.
BE
Spiritually we strive to be the 'hands and feet and face" of Jesus Christ.
