Expansion

Work expanded to include children's home, elderly support, community farming, nutrition programs, early childhood care, and education sponsorship.

2025 Milestone

First sponsored orphans graduated from school—a major milestone symbolizing the heart of MIFRU's mission and the transformation we create.
