Our vision
Creating a safe place for children to thrive
Our Mission
We recognize that many children in Engcobo are behind in their development because of a lack of security and care. Our mission is to provide a safe environment for children and young adults to develop healthily in all areas. To strengthen families and create opportunities for parents to meet the needs of their children.
Rooted in Faith
We are a faith-based organization that follows the teachings of God's word in the Bible.
Education
Education is one of the greatest protective factors against substance abuse, violence, teenage pregnancy and school dropouts. Therefore we want to support the local schools and learners by providing Afterschool programs for primary schools.
Family strengthening
Every child needs to be loved and cared for. Strong and positive bonds with involved parents reduce the potential for a child to develop a destructive lifestyle.
Health & Nurturing
Both children and adults need to be healthy in all areas; physically, emotionally, and spiritually to thrive and develop.
Our values
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
Do things through God’s word
We believe in finding value in God’s word.
Others first
We value selfless living serving one another through Jesus Christ’s example
Doing things together
We value working as a team in humility, celebrating each other’s gifts
Families
We believe healthy families make a healthy community in a godly structure.
Accountability
We value working with people from the outside, mentors, church, and supporters.
What we do
Afterschool tutoring & games
We provide face-to-face and e-learning Afterschool programs run by trained tutors. Help is given with homework and difficult subjects. We created a safe environment to play fun and educational games.
Soup Kitchen
Children receive a healthy meal every weekday. We focus on healthy nutrition with fresh vegetables from our veggie tunnel.
Family strengthening
We offer counselling and parenting skills for parents, especially young parents, single parents, and those who have lost their spouse. We also offer training on financial management and skills development for unemployed parents.
Arts and culture
We teach many different forms of dance including cultural, spiritual and modern dance. Children engage in art, music and singing as well. It is our vision to see all our children thrive. Sports keep our children active and physically fit, as well as having fun.
