Tshega Christian Mission

What does the day look like:
The children go to school from Monday to Friday. They get up around 6 am. The older children help with breakfast and the younger children also help get ready for school. School starts at 7:00 am, after school around 4:00 pm. they go to a special place where they get a hot meal and help with their homework. Afterwards, fun games are played with the children and the children are supported in dealing with situations they have experienced during the day. The parent(s) of these children live in extreme poverty and are often illiterate themselves. Sponsoring supports the children in their upbringing and care and in their daily needs such as food, love and attention.

 

Project information:
Tshega Christian Mission was founded in August 2006 by Ellanie van Rooyen and is located in the province of Limpopo near the town of Tzaneen. Ellanie worked at a school that was about to close and the children would end up on the streets. Ellianie then took care of the children and started teaching them under a tree. This resulted in a school called The Lighthouse Academy. The school officially opened its doors in 2009. This is now a recognized school and the foundation also has various other projects that help the people in the area. A nutrition program (of which your sponsor child is a part), helping unskilled women with manual labor courses and a project in which they distribute clothes and school uniforms to the poorest children. The difference between rich and poor is very large in South Africa. As a result, children and young people often go on the criminal path out of boredom and hopelessness, often they get into drugs. Tshega's goal is to give children the opportunity to go to school and thus find hope and purpose for the future. Bringing young people together is a good opportunity to tell them about God and show His love. That is why the gospel is central to all the help they provide.

With your support, your sponsor child will receive a hot meal every day. Your sponsor child will receive help with homework and will receive a school uniform. In addition, there is room for personal attention and the children play together so that the home situation of poverty is forgotten for a while.

What a fantastic time we had at Salem camp with about 300 children! Salem means ‘to be peaceful’ and ‘to be at rest’ – a place where you can receive, leave all the misery and problems behind you for a while and enjoy the moment. Arrival and set-up Wednesday was all about set-up and […]
No sooner said than done. June 14th was the day. A two-week trip was planned. After a tiring but successful flight we arrived in Johannesburg.
The moment the door opened and a very enthusiastic child flew around my neck was very emotional

A small team from Project Held went to Uganda for a week in February to visit a children's home in Uganda. A visit with the aim of possibly working together in the future.
For five evenings we went to the campaign field where thousands of people gathered to dance, worship and listen to God's word.
For the children we had a program outside with crafts and games.
The poorest in the area can eat a healthy hot meal there 2 to 4 times a week.
Entire families live on the fringes of society with children who earn a small amount of money by catching snakes.

School desk
Hope4hope, one of our projects in Kenya, miraculously has a school building at its disposal. Children from the neighborhood who cannot go to school can still receive education! In addition to the building, they obviously need much more to start the school. https://youtu.be/vyvjJr0Yhcw?si=ARdX8FtGLPtxnSTn

Soccer shoes
A poor family in Africa often does not have enough money to send their child(ren) to school. Therefore, they will soon "force" their daughters to marry early so that they are taken care of. For these young women there is no chance to learn and build on their qualities and gifts. Hope4hope in Kenya has decided to include these young women in the football trajectory. In this way they can build on their qualities and limits and also look up and indicate these. In this way they make themselves more resilient and they are stronger in society. There is such great enthusiasm that unfortunately there is always a shortage of football boots, balls and clothing. Especially the shoes wear out quickly and playing football barefoot causes the necessary injuries. These girls are very happy with their own pair of shoes! It gives them the chance to fight, train and get stronger in the game. you see the girls liven up day by day. Sometimes they are on the field before dawn and can't wait to get started. Will you help with a new set of football boots? You have no idea how grateful they are to you!
