KEY OF HOPE

Our mission to “Unlocking the future of South Africa” is by providing the long term mentoring relationships these children need not only to survive, but to thrive as citizens and leaders. We do this through various programs, mentoring and in tangible ways that meet their needs. Home Visits Home Visits are the foundation for building long term relationships with the children. Each child involved in our program is visited by one of our caring adult staff every week, giving us the opportunity to assess basic needs and provide spiritual counsel and prayer. Kidz Klub The Saturday “Kidz Klub” is our main gathering, and serves as a gateway to our other programs. The exciting mix of games, singing, prizes, puppets, and Bible teaching attracts hundreds of children, often providing our first contact with a child. Spring Camp Each year we take a select group of older children on a 5 day Spring Camp in the Drakensberg Mountains. The time in nature, away from the squalid, crowded squatter camp has proven to open hearts wide to the work of God's Spirit. Family Rights Our Family Rights program provides assistance in obtaining child support grants and orphan grants. We also assist in acquiring identification documents – including birth certificates, which are necessary to enroll in school. Children's Choir The Children's Choir is a chance for over 30 children to express themselves to God and to their world through music, song, and dance. Feeding Program Our Feeding Program provides weekly food parcels to dozens of households struggling in desperate poverty. We work with donors overseas to receive shipping containers of food that we distribute among the poor. School Fees Assistance We provide School Fees Assistance to those children who cannot afford to attend school. Each child who is sponsored also receives a birth certificate and immunizations (if needed), a full uniform, shoes, backpack, and school supplies. Cross Training Our “Cross Training” sports program includes boys' soccer teams and girls' netball teams. Children compete in monthly tournaments, and each practice session includes a time of practical Bible teaching related to that days activities.
