I am Jivana Jyothi Bandla, a woman of God from Telangana, South India.

Serving Orphans and Widows


We minister to orphan children and fellow volunteer servants of God, but we also work with women and widows who are living in poverty in slum areas in two states [of India]. Some of these women are elderly widows who live alone, with no income. They lack basic necessities for survival. To support them, we provide food, clothing, and other essential items. There are more than 200 people in need that we help. We also show the love of God and spread the message of the good news. Many people are coming to know Jesus and become more self supporting. Some older woman have started helping with the poor children, and orking to support the mission. This is our vision, and we pray that God will meet all their needs. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share this important work.

Amen 🙏🏽

 

Homeless abused women, orphans, widows and old age women every month need $3,000. 

 

ZOE wants to build an energy independent building and greenhouse so they can produce much of the food to feed these 200 poor people and to get more of the homeless into shelter.

3rd World Transformation and Local Materials

 

Zoe Living’s community development projects are designed to create lasting change by empowering community projects like orphanages to meet their own basic needs and even be giving ot others.  We want to support local poor communities only for a while until we can help them become sustainable. 

We  aim to build energy-independent homes equipped with solar panels, efficient insulation, and renewable materials. Not only does this lower power costs for impoverished families, it also reduces environmental impact. It also provides light for studying and a tablet to study on for families that have no utilities and little or no access to schools. These units could serve as models for wider adoption.

Additionally, the smart greenhouse projects allow community project members to grow fresh vegetables and herbs all year-round.  This improves nutrition and potentially provides a way to earn income from sales at local markets. The greenhouses maximize yield thanks to automated monitoring of factors like temperature, humidity, and irrigation, which we monitor remotely.




Both programs uplift marginalized communities and accelerating green technology for social good. They present exciting sponsorship opportunities at various contribution levels.

I imagine the end-goal is self-sustaining neighborhoods with healthy, educated children and low carbon footprints. We inspire people to give and get involved.  We offer visuals and data that convey this future vision and progress toward it which are crucial to people’s survival.

How we started…

Back in January 2017, something really special changed my life. We welcomed a little baby girl who was just 15 months old.  Sadly, she had lost both her parents.  At first, I wasn’t sure how to feel because our family didn’t have a lot of money either.  But we loved her so, we decided to adopt her and gave her a beautiful new name, Esther Deborah Alabie.  We found there are many other families around us,  in our situation.  We met together regularly. 

Then, in September 2017, we did something that really stretched our faith. We started an orphanage and school called Mercy Children’s Home. Our motto was all about taking care of those who needed it the most. We went out and found more than 60 children, and you know, most of these kids came from families who didn’t enough money to pay.

Then, things got even tougher along the way. We couldn’t afford to provide food for all the children anymore. And the place where we cared for the kids wasn’t even ours, so we had to leave in 2020. But we didn’t give up!

In 2022, we decided to start all over again. We built our own building and while it was still being completed we opened a new place with the same vision.  Well, it wasn’t complete yet, but we had hope. We wanted to get full sponsorship, since we were still struggling. So, we asked the families to pay a small fee, less than $5 per term. I know that sounds like a small amount to you, but it is a lot to the local people in Sierra Leone. 75% of the students couldn’t afford to pay. So, I made a decision. I let them come to school for free! I even bought them uniforms, books, and bags to help them out.

Then there was another challenge. We had six staff members who needed to be paid. So, I reached out to kind-hearted people who were philanthropists for help. We raised money to pay the staff and buy the things we needed for our ministry.

Let me tell you about the people who were the biggest givers. They are sand miners, fishermen, and gardeners. Most of them can’t afford to pay to take care of their own children.  But they were very generous anyway. 

So, here’s the really exciting part. We’re thinking about building an orphanage! I’m praying that it happens because it would be a dream come true for these poor children. I hope to hear from you soon!

Thank you for listening to my story.

How We Ensure Wise Use of Donations.

 

We Overcome Known Issues :

We are aware of a number of potential trust issues in completing our noble mission. Political and personal corruption, along with incompetence of professionals, has been a problem in developing nations. Many of these nations are famous for scams. Therefore we take these steps to avoid middle men, have trustless transactions, and deliver items directly to the recipients who need the aid. We monitor progress to stay on top of unknown or unexpected challenges as well.

 


Our Solutions:

 

    • Personally Known Leaders: We personally know and work with responsible leaders on the ground. This includes caring volunteers, pastors many of whom hold advanced degrees.

    • Cryptosecurity: We implement advanced security measures for data or money transfers.

    • Milestones: Funds are released in small batches, following milestone achievements.

    • Trustless Transactions: We micromanage finances by directly paying for specific items or services bypassing corruption or temptations for people in the middle.

    • Digital Pay: We utilize stable local digital currencies (ie googlePay or Gcash in Philippines) when available, enabling fee-free transactions for small amounts (even in pennies).

    • Online Project Management: Our project management team keeps us on track and within budget.

    • Maintenance Management: Buildings and Equipment that we provide in input into  scheduled maintenance software and is on contract with trusted third-party providers..

    • Donation Platforms:  Multiple types of Giving are provided for through special Donation platforms below:

From Poverty to Abundance

At ZOE: Abundant Living, our non-profit organization is driven by a passion to make a difference in the lives of those in need. We are currently working on an important project and are seeking generous donations to support our cause. Our mission is to construct smart greenhouses with aquaponics systems in a small community, like an orphanage, to provide food for the less fortunate. The projects we build and maintain are designed to be self-sufficient, providing their own food and water for the residents and a little more to sell or give to others. This gives dignity to the residents and teaches them to give.

Design:

These greenhouses, built with locally available bamboo and PVC pipes, will enable us to create a self-sufficient and sustainable solution. By combining fish farming and hydroponics, we can grow fresh produce while also raising fish. The plant beds, made from PVC pipes with holes drilled into them, will stack in tiers, optimizing space and productivity.

To ensure the success of these greenhouses, we have implemented advanced controls and sensors. These technological features allow for remote monitoring by our experts based in the United States. This way, we can closely observe and manage the conditions of the greenhouse, ensuring optimal growth and efficiency. View our real world examples in the USA and the Philippines.

Your Gift Overcomes Poverty towards Abundance: one Project at a Time.

With your support and donations, we can empower vulnerable communities and provide them with a reliable source of food. Together, we can make a lasting impact and create a brighter future for those in need. Join us in our mission to bring abundant living to all.

Abundant Nutritious Food in 3 minutes: Sprouts https://zoeliving.org/abundant-nutritious-food-in-3-minutes-sprouts/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=abundant-nutritious-food-in-3-minutes-sprouts Mon, 01 Jan 2024 04:26:32 +0000 https://zoeliving.org/?p=1125 Food may soon see a global shortage in 2024. Sprouts can be grown from seeds in water in the sunlight any season. Sprouts are nutritious and tasty. You can harvest in 3 days and cut leaves 3 times in one week!

It is expected that Food will soon see a global shortage in a few months! Start preparing now for Q1 2024. In some areas ready food will be traded like money. The sprouts in the picture above are mongo bean sprouts that grew in 3 days in water only, to reach this size of about ~5 inches tall.

Harvest in 3 days !

We grow sprouts of plants like wheat, Barley, alfalfa. The young sprouts have the highest nutrition, lowest effort, lowest time to wait.


3 Harvests per Planting, 3 x a month!

That picture shows the second harvest! Meaning 3 days after watering seeds we cut our first harvest. Then 2 days later we harvest again and repeat ! One harvest of 1 tray of sprouts (by cutting the tops a few inches) provides food for 3 or 4 people when added to rice or yoghurt or bread in a sandwich. Use it place of spinach or lettuce in soups, salads, or sandwiches. Sprouts are high in nutrition and thus boosts immunity, energy, happy feelings.

Facts:

1 tray of seed produces :
* 3 harvests
* in 10 days.
* in 3 mins work a day
* 1 tray cutting = 1 meal for 3-4 people

What Sprouts are not:
Sprouts grown this way are not complicated. This process uses No fertilizer, no dirt, no pesticides, almost no money. Therefore the process assures there is no disease, no birds or bugs (too young). This leaves you with no excuse for not having food and nutrition for your family. The seeds are usually readily available in your area. We had to try several varieties of seeds to find the one that produced well in our climate. Try it out for yourself!

We Care !

Please pay attention! I love you, God loves you! I’m speaking as a Prophet called by God to the nations, As a business man, As a data scientist who researches trends for government & large corporations. As your brother in Christ who cares! Van
