Through God‘s love, we have built relationships with the community, and over the years, we have established preschool, food programs, after-school programs like kids discipleship and youth programs, and outreach.


Preschool:
Hlalani Educare Center has 35 pupils from the ages of 3 to 6, 2 teachers, and few volunteers. The curriculum focuses on developing each child socially, emotionally, physically, intellectually, and spiritually. Our content is based on Christian principles to inspire each child to grow spiritually. We place particular emphasis on the development of children’s language and listening skills. Our team strives to create a nurturing environment that assists children to develop to their full potential, to be happy and content, to grow in knowledge and confidence, and to have respect for themselves and for others.
We have seen wonderful work throughout the years.

Food program:
The kids of the preschool receive daily nutritious food that was seen by a dietitian for their health. Several kids are malnourished when they come to school, but after a few weeks, they start gaining weight and quickly become healthier.
The kids that don’t have breakfast also come in the morning to receive nutritious porridge that sustains them throughout the day.
A few times a week, food is also served to the kids coming back from school so they can go home with hot and delicious meals.
We are hoping to expand this ministry as the months evolve so that kids, teenagers, and adults can receive cooked meals.

Kids Discipleship:
Around 50 kids come weekly for Kids Discipleship. They dance, play, listen attentively to the Bible in a creative way, and do crafts. There is such a hunger among the kids to come and have fun while being disciplined.

Pre-teens group:
A pre-teen group have been started by seeing the need of the girls of this age to have a safe place in an age where they start to experiment. They also were too old to attend Kids Discipleship, and too young to come to Youth.

Youth:
Teenagers from the ages of 13 to 17 come to weekly programs where they are discipled and think about subjects that are relevant to their age. They have found within the group a place of safety and belonging. Many have encountered the love of God and are hungry for Jesus.

Literacy Program:
This program was started after seeing a need for the kids to improve their English, and other subjects while having a place where they can do their homework. Several kids come, and found a safe place where they can get a one-on-one attention.

Outreach:
The love of Jesus is to be shared, and we share it within the township of Hlalani. We also have teams coming from all over the world to share the good news and see the Lord’s working signs, wonders, and miracles.
