WAYS WE SERVE

We serve by feeding children and the elderly in vulnerable communities around the Gwayi River, while running regular volunteer trips that bring hands-on support. Through digging wells, installing water tanks, and solar-powered pumps, we help provide clean, sustainable water and meet real needs with lasting care.

Our aim is two-fold:

To serve and impact the people of Gwayi River while at the same time impacting the lives of those volunteering in our teams.

Feeding Program

Todd Martin and other sponsors help raise funds for our maize feeding program. These funds enable us to support the local farmers by buying their hand grown maize, which in turn stimulates the economy. We then distribute that maize to several underprivileged schools in the area, providing a meal for each child per day. Our feeding program directly supports childhood education while stimulating the economy. We have been providing daily meals to hundreds of kids in 8 local schools for over 10 years.

Solar Pump Installations

This projects includes raising funds for the digging of wells (the only safe water-source for many communities). We have been able to replace aging and failing hand pump systems at three schools with a solar-powered system serving the school children.

Bible Donations

Leaders in the community are lead through our leadership sessions and mentoring program. Many of these leaders also form part of an assistantship in our Zimbabwe Outreach Program.

Reading Glasses

Thanks to our great USA donors we are able to provide basic reading glasses to people who with age who have lost their ability to read with ease. The double blessing is that we test their eyes with the donated Bibles and many are able to read God's Word for the first time. 

Medical
Kits

Medical kits consisting of basic medicine and first aid supplies are donated and placed in the care of a trained medical practitioner or nurse in the communities and schools. 

Building Benches & Desks

New Life Community Services and other sponsors donate chipboard, screws, equipment, and other supplies to help our volunteer teams build desks & benches for local schools.

Clothing Donations

Many schools in Cape Town donate used school uniforms and clothing which is sorted and donated to the Gwayi River community and local schools.

Painting Classrooms

Many South African businesses donate various paint products and materials to assist us in revamping local school classrooms.

Sports
Clinic

Our volunteers facilitate a sports clinics at various schools in the area, teaching the school children basic sports skills and the value of teamwork.

Special Projects

In addition to the above, we are also involved in special projects to serve the community and empower our team in serving. These projects include raising funds for the digging of wells (the only safe water-source for many communities), launching a sewing & woodwork school, community building projects as well as the construction and maintenance of our volunteer camp (a critical base for our volunteer teams).
