On July 16, 2024, Del Anderson, SIA founder, would have turned 118 years old. Though we no longer celebrate an earthly birthday with cake and ice cream, we honor him with SIA's impactful work.
Del founded Spirit In Action in 1996 to fulfill God's promise of abundant life for all. The organization began with Del and Administrator, Marsha Johnson. As I reflect on this, I wonder if Del ever dreamed that SIA would be what it is today
28 YEARS LATER...
Today, Spirit In Action is a thriving organization with a North American Board, an African Advisory Board, an Executive Director and Operations Manager, and over 1,000 donors! We support 28 partners in five East African countries.

Over the years, SIA has supported many causes including agriculture and animal rearing, gender rights, women's health, youth, and education. Regardless of the location, language, or focus, each partner has one thing in common; the unwavering commitment to make a better way for the communities they serve. Connected through a spirit of altruism, we work as a team to turn microgrants into major change.
WHAT LIES AHEAD....
Though we can never truly know tomorrow, we hope to grow with the support of our amazing donors, the SIA team, and our partners. Each is unique and important, and our united work is truly Spirit In Action.
