Passionate About:

I am passionate about helping people of all ages and all cultures. As a Dietitian, I am also passionate about helping to provide good nutrition to help communities sustain themselves and thrive, especially children, because without proper nourishment they cannot fully grow and be their very best. Everything Africa Thriving stands for is focused around nutrition, both physically and spiritually. I am excited about the opportunity to take my two daughters, Linnea and Amelia, to volunteer our time and energy and be a part of this great mission.

Africa Thriving Adventure June 2017



Melanie's Message

The same year we were blessed with our second daughter Amelia, my husband Jon felt God calling him to missions work. Over the last 6 years, my two girls and I say good-bye to him for 2 weeks as he heads out to do God's work. Well, this year we decided it's time for us to go as a family and serve the beautiful people of Risa, Kenya. I am excited for our whole family to go and serve together and to be a part of the ministry of Africa Thriving.

Volunteer Activity Description

A movement has begun to put love into action by helping people that don't have access to key life essentials needed to thrive. This initiative has people from all backgrounds and every type of skill. With only 1 in 8 people in rural Kenya having access to clean water, there's never been a better time for you to consider how you can pitch in.

Africa Thriving Group is a 501-C3 non-profit charity that brings clean water, food and Bibles to resource-challenged people in Africa, while teaching key life skills to help lead them out of poverty so they can thrive. We do this by partnering with local indigenous leaders and equipping them to serve their communities. We enlist the support of volunteers world wide to go to Africa and be the hands and feet on the ground to assist our African leaders.

Volunteers for Africa Thriving pledge to raise $2,500 to pay for the program costs and expenses while serving and equipping the people of Africa. With 24 volunteers in Africa for 7 days, we will be able to provide food and clean water to over 500 school children for a full year! This will free up to 3 hours a day for them to focus on education rather than collecting water.

All of the funds raised from this initiative will go directly to Africa. Africa Thriving is managed and operated completely by volunteers so that your donation can have the biggest impact possible.
