Upcoming Events

It is that time of the year that we begin to prepare for the festive season. This is the busiest period at Kwathu Ministries. We love to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ with everyone. This time around, we are going to have a double Christmas celebration party.

The first celebration will be on the 7th of December 2018 with all the Kwathu Community School children. This date was deliberately selected at this is the last day of their 3rd academic term as they go for their end of year/ term holiday. There will be lots of fun activities and games.

Our second celebration is on the 25th of December with our Kwathu children as we celebrate this day as a family.

Please feel free to send any gifts, as the Lord leads, for the children during this festive season.

Support

It is by grace that Kwathu Community School is reaching the end of its academic year of 2018. In our bid to provide free education to these less privileged children, we as an organization are not spared from the heavy costs of running the school.
In order for the school to run smoothly, we need USD 2,000 per month. This amount is subdivided  into different needs such as:

=> Salaries for teachers and auxiliary staff
=> School teaching materials (Text books, Black board chalk etc.)
=> Students school materials (Books, pencils, erasers, rulers etc.)
=> Water bills
=> Electric bills

It has not been easy for us as an organization to meet the required demands and that is why we need your support. We will be more than grateful if you got involved in making a brighter future for these lovely children. Feel free to choose an area you would love to help. Any contribution made, makes a huge difference for us.

You are also welcome to sponsor a child either on a monthly or termly basis. Your donation will go towards the child’s education and all education necessities.
