Life-long Mentoring & Relationship Programs
WHERE WE REACH CHILDREN FROM A YOUNG AGE AND WALK WITH THEM THROUGH LIFE AS THEY ADVANCE TO EACH PROGRAM
Homevisits
Home Visits are foundational to Key of Hope’s vision of life-long mentoring and discipleship. Each child involved in our programs are visited by one of our caring adult staff every week, giving us the opportunity to assess basic needs and provide spiritual counsel and prayer. This consistent weekly encounter is how we get to know our children’s home situation and show that we care about them.
Kids Club
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. Every week we host around 1500 children, most of whom we visited that week at home in their communities.
Youth Night
Our Youth program happens every Friday where we reach youth from the communities that we visit and bring them to Key of Hope for discipleship. Weekends are a very chaotic time for the areas that our youth stay in, so we take them away from that environment and fill them spiritually.
M&M Night
M&M's stands for two milestones in a young adult's life: matric (senior year of high school) and marriage. Our M&M's program focuses on 18-25 year olds in this crucial stage of life and focuses on a variety of life skills including college prep, career guidance, basic job skills and spiritual growth.
Married Couple’s Lunch
In the communities that we visit, marriage is almost unheard of. There are almost no examples of a healthy marriage and a raising a good family. Every month, Key of Hope hosts a married couples lunch to help our married staff grow in their marriage, and give them guidance for their future.
Social and Educational Aid Programs
WHERE WE REACH CHILDREN WHO DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO FOOD, EDUCATION AND IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTS
Feeding Program
Our Feeding Program provides monthly food parcels to hundreds of children and their families struggling in desperate poverty. The food they receive is enough to last them through the entire month.
Hope Academy
Many children in South Africa don’t have the right documentation or the financial means to attend school. This leaves behind a generation that gets left uneducated. Hope Academy finds these children and Its mission is to supplement the children’s basic need to learn English, but also tutors the children in simple Math, classroom etiquette and helps them with their speaking skills so that by the time they enter school, they are more than prepared.
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.
Study Hall
Education is one of our top priorities. Many of our students who are involved with Key of Hope often don’t have a quiet study environment or the right school supplies to get their school work done. On Tuesday’s, we give them access to computers, the internet, school supplies and a quiet environment to study and work on projects so that they can excel in school.
Creative Arts Programs
WHERE WE GIVE CHILDREN AND YOUTH AN OPPORTUNITY TO REACH THEIR CREATIVE POTENTIAL
Dance Team
Dance is a big part of South African culture, and so we incorporate it into many of our programs. The dance team consists of youth who are dedicated to our programs and show dancing abilities. They are selected to lead and perform dances for the children.
Junior Choir
Junior choir enables us to accommodate the children who can sing but are too young to understand all of the musical elements of the Senior Choir. Junior choir gives our young singers a family and it helps prepare them for senior choir, so that when they are old enough to graduate, they already have an understanding of how a choir operates.
Senior Choir
The Key of Hope Choir is a chance for our youth to express themselves to God and to their world through music, song, and dance. The choir organizes a concert tour to the United States every other year. Contact us if you are interested in hosting the choir.
Ithemba Worship
Key of Hope has a worship group for the young adults that come to Key of Hope, many who used to be in the choir, but are now too old to participate. They don’t just sing, but they play the drums, and guitar and learn these instruments to use them for God.
