17th of October is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.

17th of October is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. 

We commend all those individuals, groups, NGOs, Charities, Foundations and others who engage in one form of addressing the major issue of poverty - lack of food, clothes, shelter and other basic needs of life and living. 

We all need to join hands urgently to eradicate poverty. If we do not, many people will fall into the poverty margin and die of hunger, freeze from homelessness, be jailed for committing crimes to survive or even become despondent and roam the streets naked.

This is a call to duty to everyone, irrespective of where you are and how much you have please.

God bless your labour and work of love.

May we not do anything in vain.

Remember 2 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

Let us be sensitive, sensible and loving.

This is what our vision in TLF is.

That we eradicate poverty in our own immediate way and reject greed, evil, selfishness and excuses.

That we all get involved and make the world a better place for us all, amen.

Remember the ultimate law is love.

God is love.

There is no answer outside of God.

Your life in God is most important.

In all your research, submit to Jesus Christ and be fervent.


... at the end! We'd have stories to share to inspire, encourage and motivate others like TLF has been doing since 1996, 2005 and 2010.

It will end in praise, amen.

That which was old and dirty would be polished and transformed to new and shiny, amen.

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS.
