Fund Jacob's Trip to Showcase Zimele's Work in South Africa

Hello! My name is Jacob and I'm a professional videographer located in northern New Jersey, across from NYC.

I want to share with you the wonderful work of two partner organizations called Zimele USA and Zimele Wethu Foundation (based in South Africa). Zimele aims to confront the root causes of poverty in rural South Africa by empowering women with financial literacy, small business training, and life skills to sustain not only themselves, but their families and communities.

I have been asking God in my prayers on how to use my gifts with video to serve His kingdom. Zimele has a small staff and limited resources, so I believe that capturing video content in order to communicate the program's impact and how people and communities are being transformed is a perfect way to use my skills. The video content will be used for social media, website, and other communication tools that will help to raise awareness about the needs and impact of the program. 

Zimele USA is responsible for raising awareness and funds for the programming in South Africa. Some people here at Metro Community Church actually run Zimele USA and a group of 8 from Metro will be going on a mission trip and I’m looking for some help!

Please support me in this daunting endeavor as I need to raise money for travel and housing for a 10-day trip to film Zimele’s activities and really give the U.S. donor base a better idea of what's going on in South Africa, giving faces and stories to those in the program.
