KWATHU HOME
BIRTHDAYS – April was indeed a wonderful month filled with celebrations for our family! We had the joy of celebrating the birthdays of our three incredible children. Austin reached the milestone age of 21 on April 13, 2025, while both Michael and Jane celebrated turning 12 years old. It was a time of happiness and love as we marked these special occasions together.

EASTER CELEBRATIONS
In April, we organized an Easter event for the kids in our community to teach them about the significance of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The day was filled with various activities such as bible sharing, poetry reading, dancing, scripture quizzes, and, of course, a delightful meal shared together. It was a joyous occasion where the children showcased their knowledge and creativity, deepening their understanding of our faith. Below are the pictures of the celebration.
HOLIDAY OUTING WITH THE KIDS
On April 29, 2025, we took the children from the Kwathu Home out for ice cream. It was a heartwarming experience to witness the joy on the children’s faces as they left the home to savor their sweet treats. Sharing moments like these with the children brought happiness to all involved and created lasting memories filled with laughter and smiles.
KWATHU SCHOOL
The school term came to an end on the 10th of April, 2025 after the pupils were assessed by the teachers. On the 11th of April, 2025, it was open day, where parents collected their children’s end-of-term reports to see how far they have progressed in their academics.
VOLUNTEERS
In April, we had the pleasure of welcoming two enthusiastic volunteers from Germany to join us for a three-month volunteering opportunity. Upon their arrival, they wasted no time in immersing themselves in our projects, including lending a hand to paint the exterior of our kitchen. We are truly grateful for their support and are thrilled to have them with us.
MEETING WITH THE MINISTRY OF SOCAIL WELFARE
In April, the government ministry of Social Welfare Department visited us to discuss important topics such as the reintegration process and the implementation of child support software to store information about children in childcare homes. The meeting was successful and we had a productive discussion about these critical issues.
SAMARITAN PURSE
In April, Kwathu was the only NGO in Livingstone that was chosen to be part of the Samaritan Purse gifts. Kwathu received 100 gift boxes that were gifted to 100 kids in the community. The purpose of the gifts is to share Jesus Christ to little kids, and Kwathu was part of this amazing journey.
