What We Do
Lighthouse Children and Youth Ministry is committed to the poorest children in Rehoboth, Namibia. Through various programs, we offer children love, attention, education, a warm meal, the opportunity to go to school, and practical help.
Kids Programs
Our programs for children form the core of the work in Rehoboth. We reach more than 80 children with daily care and support.
Afterschool Care
From Monday to Friday, we care for 80 children who grow up in poverty. The afterschool care focuses on the most vulnerable children in Rehoboth.
Children whose parents are absent due to death, alcohol addiction, or who simply do not have the means to provide their children with what they need. Every day it is uncertain whether these children will get something to eat at home.
- A warm meal daily
- Homework guidance
- Activities: archery, crafts, sports
- Practical help where needed
Sunshine Club
In addition to the children who need both emotional and practical help, there are also many children who do have a parent who gives attention and love, but where there are no finances for a daily meal and school supplies.
This group of 30 children comes to us every Friday, together with the children from the afterschool care. They receive a food package every two weeks and we provide school supplies. Friday is a fun day with singing, Bible stories, a warm meal, and fun activities.
Hostel Program
There are children in Rehoboth whose home situation is so bad that it is better for them to live elsewhere. A hostel is a place next to the school where children live.
Currently, we support 22 children who go to hostels. We ensure that their hostel fees are paid, that they have a school uniform, bag, and materials, and they also receive toiletries every month.
