The Light House Baby Shelter

"HIS LIGHT IN THEIR

DARKNESS!"

Zandspruit Outreach Program

We visit the Zandspruit Squatter camp once week to meet with the mothers there who are unemployed and have

no support. We try to give food parcels at least once a month. We spend time ministering and encouraging them

to improve their circumstances by educating them and assisting wherever possible. We not only get to know them

but can also assess their capabilities.

In February 2010 we will be hosting a number of skills development workshops to help these women empower

themselves and hopefully brighten up their future.

We would like to appeal to all who are interested in contributing to these workshops to please contact Wanita.

The idea is to keep it as diverse as possible so that all types of skills can be learnt with the hope that all the

women can find their niche'.

We currently sponsor 21 mothers but and the number is growing daily. Sponsoring these mothers is not for

an indefinite period and we make it very clear that this is a temporary aid. We do not want these mothers to

become charity cases, we aim to uplift and empower them.

We are trying to have an impact where true change is needed and will be experienced and where it will be visible

to the new generation in South Africa.

We believe having a shelter for these abandoned babies is not enough and we need to penetrate the core issues

in order to make a difference. With education and support we are hoping that these mothers will be empowered

and in turn can empower their children.
