The Seven Pilot Tracks
Each track is a door — into character, learning, health, vocation, and faith.
Faith & Football Academies
Work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord. — Colossians 3:23
Football is the doorway. Two weekly sessions bring 160 kids ages 6–16 into a space where discipline, mentoring, and Scripture help them discover their value comes from God — not their performance.
Football fundamentals and fair play, anchored in gratitude and community through shared meals and garden work.
Weekly training paired with school check-ins and small-group mentoring focused on character and integrity.
Peer leadership and deeper discipleship — including assistant coaching roles that serve the next generation.
Warriors of Peace
Blessed are the peacemakers. — Matthew 5:9
Warriors of Peace turns martial arts strength into a force for peace, self-control, and Christ-like character. Youth ages 10–18 learn that true power means serving and forgiving — not dominating.
Build movement, balance, and self-control through foundational training and peace-circle storytelling.
Deepen technique while exploring forgiveness, identity, and what it truly means to be a peacemaker.
Lead with advanced skills, modeling peace and mentoring younger participants in the community.
Waves of Hope
The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it. — Psalm 24:1
At Cabo Ledo's coastline, 80 youth ages 10–18 build courage and resilience through surf and water-safety training. In the waves, they discover that the God who made the sea knows and loves them.
Water-safety basics and first surf experiences, paired with gratitude for the ocean God made.
Intermediate surf technique, ocean reading, and learning to steward the coastline as a gift to protect.
Advanced surf, peer leadership, and coastal-care projects — equipping youth to guide and serve.
Lights for Learning
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. — John 1:5
Lights for Learning serves 100+ children and adolescents with disabilities in Luanda — not as an afterthought, but as the center of God's heart. Caregivers are welcomed as partners from day one.
Sensory play, adapted movement, and early literacy with assistive tools build confidence and spark discovery.
Accessible learning, peer inclusion, and adapted sport connect each child to DOSA's wider community.
Life skills and vocational exploration open supported pathways into Seeds of Hope or Paths of Purpose.
Hosts of Hospitality
Show hospitality to strangers — for by so doing some have shown hospitality to angels. — Hebrews 13:2
Hosts of Hospitality opens tourism and hospitality pathways for youth at Cabo Ledo. Work here is not just income — it is vocation, a way to reflect Christ's love through welcome and service.
Youth explore hospitality values, customer care, and service through the biblical lens of dignity and welcome.
Practical training in food preparation, catering, tourism awareness, and hospitality English — with site visits and hands-on experience.
Advanced pathways in catering, hotel operations, event management, tourism guiding, certification, and entrepreneurship.
Seeds of Hope
The LORD God put him in the garden to work it and take care of it. — Genesis 2:15
Caring for the land is an act of stewardship, dignity, and service to God and community. Rooted on a 20-hectare site in Bengo, Seeds of Hope is DOSA's agriculture and food-security pathway — taking young people from soil discovery to a real vocation, ages 6–25.
Garden exposure — seeds, soil, and gratitude for creation — teaches children that food comes from the earth and caring for it is a gift.
Garden clubs, crop cycles, and food hygiene build understanding of how food grows and why it matters for health and community.
Agroecology, irrigation, and crop management help youth see farming as a profession, not just survival.
Food processing, cooperative models, and agribusiness planning equip graduates with a real skill and a real pathway.
Paths of Purpose
We are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works. — Ephesians 2:10
Paths of Purpose walks with young adults ages 18–25 as they discern calling, character, and vocation — building the skills, integrity, and confidence needed for work and leadership. In cohort settings, they are equipped in spirit, mind, and body to serve their communities and beyond.
Youth explore their gifts, values, and what it means to work with integrity as they begin vocational discernment and identity formation.
Practical skills — CV writing, interview prep, digital literacy — built alongside peer accountability and mentoring that deepen resilience.
Graduates leave with employment referrals, leadership experience, and the readiness to mentor the next generation.
Safe by Design
Every DOSA program is built on child protection, disability inclusion, and non-coercive Christian witness — not as afterthoughts, but as launch gates.
Safeguarding policies, trained leaders, and clear reporting protocols protect every child in our care — because safety is the first door, not the last.
Adaptive programming and caregiver partnerships ensure youth with disabilities belong and thrive — not just attend.
Faith is shared with grace and open hands. Participation is never conditioned on church attendance, conversion, or any declaration of faith.
MMVM Foundation (U.S.) owns safeguarding, compliance, and program architecture — partnering locally with Fundação LWINI in Angola.
