Our Projects
Feeding Scheme
This scheme provides free
food for the poor and needy school going children. Many poor black
families cannot make a living on their grants alone, so we assist
these families with food parcels.
We are currently running a feeding scheme in a few schools with the assistance from Woolworths and a few private individuals. Ready made lunch boxes are provided to these indegent school kids, so they can perform better and not having to think about being hungry the whole day. You can make a difference through donations and sponsorships.
Helping the Disabled
Many disabled people in
Umkomaas are housebound because they cannot use their legs for
whatever reason. These people are often a burden on their families
who are already suffering due to extreme poverty. Some are visually
impaired. These people need skills to survive the harsh reality of
living in the rural areas where there is no access to resources etc…
We have been donating wheelchairs
over the past couple of years, and have seen how the lives of these
unfortunate people can change dramatically due to their newfound
mobility.
Clean Water – Bore wells
We have donated a number of
nore wells in different parts of Umkomaas. Each bore well provides
fresh, clean water to many families, and thereby prevents diseases
that they would otherwise catch from dirty and polluted water they
would otherwise drink from ponds;streams and rivers.
We need your help to install more
of these bore wells to provide clean, safe drinking water, and avoid
diseases and deaths among the worlds poorest people. The
municipality is resticted from proving drinking water in these areas
beacuase of the costs involved.
Vocational Training
We have been providing
training on sewing machines to poor and destitute women. These women
are often widows and have to provide for their families. After
completing a training course, the women are given a sewing machine
which they can use to generate some income by making and mending
clothes for neighbours. The machines can also be used to make and
mend clothing for their families. There are several vocational
projects that is running throughout the year. Send us a mail to
info@missionswithaglobalvision.org.za for further inquiries.
Education
We are currently raising money for our educational fund which is
used to provide eductional resources to poor students and
scholarships to oustanding students who would otherwise not be able
to continue their studies beyond primary school. The Umkomaas area
has many poor families. The people that suffer the most live in the
rural parts of Umkomaas. So we plan to setup an ABET center on the
proposed Campsite.
This will house the necessary resources need to educate and equip these youth and adults. This edifice will include training in the agricultural sector especially in tunnel farming and poultry.
