uMephi Project

uMephi is a programme that was founded by the AFM Executive Welfare Council to help children in need. uMephi strives to improve the quality of life of children in need, irrespective of race, religion or nationality. “uMephi” was derived from the Bible story in which Mephiboseth, son of Jonathan was orphaned, disabled and had to beplaced in “alternative care”.  A child who had nobody whom he could call his own and had to live with the shame of his and his parents past. Mephiboseth was also a child who was rescued, through the kindness of God shown through the King, who was re-instated in his position as ‘n person who had worth, who had his own land and who could live the rest of his life with dignity.
