Female Headed Households Project

Synopsis of Statement of Intent

The vision of Kingdom Mission Africa (a Non-Profit Organisation) is to bring about societal change across all
seven Mountains of God, in as much as we can with the resources available to us. Towards the end of 2019, we
heard Father God say that South African society is fractured and in pain across three dimension 1) along tribal
and racial lines, 2) along class lines (have’s VS have not’s) and 3) righteousness and wickedness. We believe that
Father God wants to reform South African society to be an example of a rainbow nation where everyone has
sufficient, that are righteous.

This proposal addresses the Family Mountain of God and specifically how KMA would like to assist widows,
female headed households (FHH’s) and orphans/street children to reform family units that are the building
blocks of communities and South African society:

 The prevalence of FHH’s has been on the increase in many parts of the globe. This is especially true for sub-
Saharan Africa (SSA). Some of the reasons for this trend include labour migration by male heads, resulting
in left-behind female heads. Other reasons, especially in SSA, include wars and conflicts, which
disproportionately kill males. Moreover, socio-cultural changes that erode the extended family structure and
make single parenthood more permissible have become more pronounced with time.

Source: Economic Research South Africa, “Female household headship and poverty in South Africa: an
employment-based analysis”, August 2018.
 A 2018 study by Economic Research South Africa (∑rsa) indicated that FHH’s are generally associated with
higher poverty incidences relative to male headship. If FHH’s are positively correlated with poverty, the
increase in the prevalence of FHH’s suggests that poverty will remain a big challenge if the link between
female headship and poverty is not addressed. This study also found that black and coloured FHH’s are
more inclined to significant poverty.
 A household survey published on 15 July 2020, during the Covid 19 Lock-Down, reveals that there was an
almost immediate net loss of three million jobs between February and April 2020 and women accounted for
two million of the people who lost their livelihoods as the economy was shut down.

 Teenage pregnancy statistics in South Africa is worrying – in 2017 about 680,000 babies in South Africa
were delivered by teenagers between 10 and 17 years.
 South Africa has nearly 4 million orphans and street children (2017 data), with the result that a very large
number of children needs safe accommodation, proper nutrition, education, role models, etc.
 The 7 Mountains of God are the 7 sectors in society that mould the way we think, namely Economy, Family,
Education, Spirituality, Media, Celebration and Government. Society can be changed / transformed
through all 7 mountains. The Mountain of Family is the heart to the development of loving, learning,
maturing and development as an individual.
The KMA Trustees believe that our Heavenly Father has a passion for families, as families are the building
blocks of communities and nations. And that He wants to transform South African society by transforming
families in both a tangible and a spiritual way.
 KMA would like to undertake projects in disadvantaged black and coloured communities across SSA, that
will improve the quality of life of FHH’s, abused women and orphans that will address the following aspects:
 Material Living Conditions: KMA is of the opinion that FHH’s, abused women and orphans first
need is for safe, decent accommodation for them and their families. Consequently, KMA would like
to establish security villages with decent accommodation units within their communities to ensure their
safety, but also retain their existing support structures and relationships.
 Livelihoods: Following hard on the heels of safe, decent accommodation is the need of FHH’s, abused
women and orphans for sustainable livelihoods. In this regard, KMA would like to create fully
equipped facilities, such as, a Bakery, a Coffee Shop, a small Restaurant, a Sewing Room, an Internet
Café, a Spaza Shop, a Soup Kitchen, a Laundry, etc., that the ladies can own and operate.
 Education: Also high on the priority list of FHH’s, abused women and orphans are education – not
just of their children, but also for themselves. As a result, KMA would like to establish fully equipped
educational facilities that range from a crèche, to pre-school and Grade 1 to 5, that can also be used as
ABET facilities after hours.
 Health: To ensure good family health, KMA would also like to establish a fully equipped Clinic that
can serve the community with basic health care services.
 Leisure and Social Interactions: Sports and leisure facilities, such as, a soccer field, a squash court,
swings and a climbing frame, a climbing wall, etc. will be constructed as part of the educational facilities,
as it helps with the small and large motor development of the children. These facilities will be made
available to the larger community for sports and leisure activities and social integration with the larger
community. In addition, the educational facilities can be used as over weekends for church services.
 Ministry: KMA will also partner with Christian NGO’s and Christian Churches that can minster to
the needs of abused women, orphans and single parent (women) households.
 KMA would like to partner with grant funders, Christian NGO’s and Christian Churches to impact FHH’s
and Orphans in disadvantaged black and coloured communities across Southern Africa and beyond. There
is a lot of ministry work required to negate the impact that culture had on families. Ultimately, we believe
that our Heavenly Father wants to restore and reform family units to be bearers of the image of Christ Jesus.
This will inevitably lead to reformed communities and society.

 Statement of Intent – Female Headed Household Upliftment
1. Introduction
1.1 Reformation of South African Family Units
Towards the end of 2019, we at Kingdom Mission Africa (a Non-Profit Organisation) heard Father God say that
South African society is fractured and in pain across three dimension 1) along tribal and racial lines, 2) along
class lines (have’s VS have not’s) and 3) righteousness and wickedness. We believe that Father God wants to
reform South African society to be an example of a rainbow nation where everyone has sufficient, that are
righteous.

The vision of KMA is to bring about societal change across all seven Mountains of God, in as much as we can
with the resources available to us. This proposal addresses the Family Mountain of God and specifically how
KMA would like to assist widows, female headed households (FHH’s) and orphans/street children to reform
family units that are the building blocks of communities and South African society.

1.2 Economic Research South Africa (∑rsa)

A 2018 study by Economic Research South Africa (∑rsa) indicated that FHH’s are generally associated with
higher poverty incidences relative to male headship. If FHH’s are positively correlated with poverty, the increase
in the prevalence of FHH’s suggests that poverty will remain a big challenge if the link between female headship
and poverty is not addressed. This study also found that black and coloured FHH’s are more inclined to
significant poverty.

1.3 Impact of Covid 19 Pandemic

A dozen academic papers released on Wednesday 15 July 2020 have laid bare the extent of the damage wrought
by the Covid-19 Pandemic between February and April 2020 on employment levels, healthcare access and food
security in South Africa. The grim picture in a nutshell:
 Kingdom Mission Africa

An article in Eyewitness News on the 22 July 2020 highlights the plight of the tourism and hospitality – the
Minister of Tourism, Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane has told Parliament the sector faces a 75% reduction in
revenue for this year with nearly 440,000 jobs at risk. Given that this sector employs a lot of women, it is no
wonder that FHH’s have been hit hardest with the impact of the pandemic.
With the continued lock-down and the somewhat questionable restrictions that the South African Government
has placed on society, the impact on the South African economy is likely to further deteriorate. It is anticipated
that by the end of August South Africa the unemployment figure in the country would have increased from the
50+% at the end of April, to around 70%. And the trend that women bearing the brunt of the job losses is likely
to continue.

1.4 Teenage Pregnancies

Teenage pregnancy statistics in South Africa is worrying – in 2017 about 680,000 babies in South Africa were
delivered by women between 10 and 17 years. This creates several issues:
 According to the South Africa Demographic and Health Survey of 2016, children born to extremely young
mothers have a higher risk of sickness and premature death.

5
 Kingdom Mission Africa

 It leads to high school drop-out, as the young mothers are forced by circumstances to leave school
prematurely to care for their new babies. She becomes a financial burden to the family and society, and this
is likely to perpetuate the cycle of poverty.
 The financial responsibility that comes with motherhood may make a young mother more susceptible to
partner in violence and commercial sex.
 Teenage pregnancy is driven by a myriad of factors, including:
 Gender inequalities
 Widespread poverty
 Sexual taboos
 Gender-based violence
 Gendered expectations regarding how teenage girls and boys should act Inadequate sex education
 Poor access to modern contraceptive methods
 Inconsistent use of contraception.
1.5 Orphans and Street Children in South Africa
South Africa has nearly 4 million orphans and street children (2017 data). One of the factors contributing to
the number of orphans in South Africa has been the AIDS epidemic, which has led to the very large number of
orphans and street children that needs safe accommodation, proper nutrition, education, role models, etc.

1.6 Establishing the Kingdom of God

The Kingdom of God is both a spiritual and a physical Kingdom that comprises of the 7 Mountains of God –
the 7 sectors in society that mould the way we think, namely Economy, Family, Education, Spirituality, Media,
Celebration and Government. Society can be changed / transformed only through the transformation of all 7
mountains.
This document focus on the Mountain of Family, that is core to the development of caring, loving, learning,
maturing individuals. As such, families are the bricks that makes up our communities, that makes up our society.
This document therefore focusses on the upliftment of widows, female headed households (FHH’s) and
orphans/street children to reform family units that are the building blocks of communities and society.

2. Female Headed Households Projects

2.1 Secure and Comfortable Accommodation
To address the need of FHH’s, abused women and orphans for safe, decent accommodation for them and their
families, KMA would like to establish security villages with decent accommodation units. Some of the criteria
that should be considered to meet this requirement are:
 Location: It is crucial that the property on which the accommodation and other facilities will be developed
be in or adjacent to their existing communities, to ensure their safety, but also retain their existing support
structures and relationships.
 Safety: It is envisaged that the property will be provided with a security fence, that there will be a security
gate that controls ingress and egress, with CCTV cameras that covers the property. Security staff will man
the security gate and patrol the complex on a 24/7 basis.

6
 Kingdom Mission Africa

 On-Site Supervisor: One of the accommodation units will be provided for an on-site supervisor that can
attend to any issue being encountered by the residents.
 Decent Accommodation Units: KMA would like to make extensive use of shipping containers for the
accommodation units, as such units lend themselves to medium density developments, are cost effective,
low maintenance, configured in a vast number of ways and can be deployed extremely quickly. The figures
below provide an idea of what such accommodation units could look like.
 Low Operational Costs: To keep the day-to-day operational cost of the accommodation units as low as
possible, KMA intends to equip each accommodation unit with the following:
 Solar Photo-Voltaic Panels: PV cells will be installed on the roof area of each of the accommodation
units, along with batteries and an inverter (in a secure box underneath the accommodation unit), to
supply the energy demand of the unit.
 Low Energy Consumption Lighting: Light fittings in each unit will be fitted with low consumption,
long lasting LED lights.
 Solar Geysers: To further reduce the energy consumption, each unit will be equipped with a solar
geyser.
 Gas Stoves: Each unit will be provided with a gas stove, with the gas bottles being housed in a safe and
secure enclosure adjacent to each unit.
 Rainwater Harvesting System: Each unit will be equipped with a rainwater harvesting system that will
collect rainwater from the roof and store the water in uPVC tanks. A pressure pump will supply water,
through a filter bank, into the unit.
 Grey-water Systems: Each unit will also be equipped with a grey-water system, that will be used to water
the plants and gardens in and around the unit.
 Indigenous Gardens: The area around each unit will be landscaped and planted with indigenous,
drought resistant plants.
 Insolation: Each unit will be well-insulated, to ensure that the units are cool in summer and warm in
winter. In addition, each unit will have a roof with a large overhang to protect the containers from the
hot midday sun.
 Wood-burning Heater: Each unit will also be supplied with a small wood burning heater.
 Outside Family Area: The units will also be supplied with an outside family area, where each family
can gather to cook and enjoy a meal and enjoy being outside the unit. It is envisaged that the units will
all be supplied with a small built in braai and patio.
 Colourful: The containers will all be painted in bright colours, resembling the beach huts on St James
Beach.
 Environmentally Friendly: By doing the above, the environmental impact of the development will be
minimal.

2.2 Sustainable Livelihoods of FHH’s
2.2.1 Small Business Development
To ensure that FHH’s, abused women and orphans in the security complex will have sustainable livelihoods,
KMA would like to establish several small enterprises that can generate an income for the FHH’s, such as:

 Beauty Parlour: A small beauty parlour is a possible livelihood opportunity that can be established. As
depicted in the figures below.

 Kingdom Mission Africa

Figure 4: Example of a 6m Container Beauty Parlour

Figure 5: Example of the Layout of a 12m Container Beauty Parlour

 Laundry: A small laundry will be established to wash, dry and iron laundry for people inside the complex,
as well as the community.

9
 Kingdom Mission Africa

Figure 6: Example of a 12m Container Laundry

 Bakery: A small bakery that can bake bread and eats that can be sold to clients in the community.
 Tailor: A small tailor shop that can make clothes and dresses and adjust clothes is another small business
idea that can be considered.
 Coffee Shop: A small coffee shop is another option that can be considered.

10

Figure 7: Example of a Basic Coffee Shop

 Small Restaurant: Also, a small restaurant.

Figure 8: An example of a Container Restaurant

 Internet Café: An internet café should also be able to pull in clients.

Figure 9: An example of a Container Internet Café

 Spaza Shop: A spaza shop that can sell essentials to the community could also be a successful small business
idea.
 Soup Kitchen: Given the current state of the South African economy, a soup kitchen could be an essential
service that the FHH’s render to their community.

 Kingdom Mission Africa

The figure below provides an example of what a containerised small business node could look like.

Figure 10: Container Accommodation Units for Commercial Activities

KMA would also run a training and support programme for the small businesses that comprises of:
 Basic Business Skills: It is envisaged that the ladies will all be trained in basic business skills that will enable
them to run their small enterprises, such as a proper budget, etc.
 Specific Skills: Where required, specific skills relating to the small enterprise will be imparted to the relevant
ladies, for example, the owner of the Internet Café will have to be proficient in IS&T matters.
 Business Governance: In addition, the ladies will be provided with support to register their business, file
their VAT, PAYE and Tax Returns, comply with all the various pieces of legislation, etc. This will be done
through contracting in the services of professionals (lawyers, accountants, etc.).
 Mentoring Programme: Mentors that can mentor the ladies will be appointed to mentor individuals for a
period of two or three years.
 Seed Funding: It is envisaged that KMA would assist the ladies to access seed funding that will enable the
small enterprises to function properly.

2.2.2 Food Security

Some of the food security initiatives that can be implemented, depending on land and water availability. are
listed below:
 Vegetable Tunnels: Vegetable Tunnels for the production of vegetables that can be consumed by the
residents in the area, or that can be sold for a small income at local markets and supermarkets, will be erected
on one of the small farms in the region.
This will involve:
 Selecting a suitable site (between 1 and 2 hectares, relatively flat, good quality soil, lots of water,

12
 Kingdom Mission Africa

connected to the electricity grid);

 Fencing the site;
 Digging a well-point that can be used to supply water for the vegetables in tunnels;
 Preparing the site for the vegi-tunnels;

Figure 11: A Typical Vegi-tunnel

 Setting up the vegi-tunnels;
 Putting in an irrigation system that can be used to distribute the water to the vegetables in the tunnels;
 Planting the seed (a variety of vegetables will be planted) in the tunnels;
 Watering and maintaining the plants.
From the vegi-tunnels the community will be able to harvest produce, such as, potatoes, tomatoes, chilies,
spinach, carrots and the like that is sufficient to feed the 500-odd families in the region.
 Crop Production: The fact that the community has got some vegetables to eat is only a start towards food
security. Another step towards a food secure region is to establish a 15 to 20 hectare crop production unit
that can be used to produce staple foods (maize, wheat, etc.). It is an imperative that this site has sufficient
water on it to allow the construction of a small dam and the installation of an irrigation system that will
allow the crops to be watered throughout the year. It is envisaged that one can do the following on this
farm:
 Selecting a suitable site (about 15 to 20 hectares in extent, relatively flat, good quality soil, lots of water,
connected to the electricity grid);
 Fencing the site;
 Digging a well-point that can be used to supply water for the crops;
 Preparing the site for crop farming;
 Erecting a small dam;
 Putting in an irrigation system that can be used to water the crops;
 Planting the seed (a winter crop will initially be planted);
 Watering and maintaining the plants.
The crops harvested from this piece of land should be sufficient to supply around 500 families with staple
food.
 Fish Farming: If there is sufficient water supply, the dam can be used to establish a small fish farm. It is
envisaged that one can do the following to establish the fish farm:
 Select a suitable site (preferable next to the dam) for the construction of a number of fish spawning and
fish nursery ponds;
 Fencing the site;

13
 Kingdom Mission Africa

 Construct the fish spawning and fish nursery ponds;

 Stock the fish nursery ponds with fish eggs (Tilapia is the recommended fish
species to be produced);
 Construct a number of floating fish cages (see adjacent figure) that can be
placed in the dam and used as grow-out ponds for the fingerlings;
 Buy a small boat (with the necessary safety gear);
 When the eggs have hatched and the fish are about 5 cm in length, the
fingerlings must be relocated to the floating fish cages inside the dam;
 The Tilapia must be fed regularly (leaves, cassava, sweet potato, cane, maize
and papaya and various waste products like rice bran, fruit, brewery
wastes, cotton seed cake, peanut cake and coffee pulp);
 When the Tilapia is grown, it can be harvested.
The fish harvested from the dams should be sufficient to supply around 500
families with regular fresh protein.

14
 Kingdom Mission Africa

 Rabbit Farming: On one of the properties, one can construct a small rabbit farm that can produce rabbit
meat for local consumption. It is envisaged that one can do the following to establish the rabbit farm:
 Select a suitable site for the construction of a rabbit stable;
 Constructing the rabbit stable that will house a number of rabbit cages;
 Construct a number of rabbit cages (to be placed inside the rabbit stable)
that can house the rabbits;
 Buy an initial breeding stock of a number of does (females) and a buck
(male);
 Feed (grass, leaves, cabbage leaves, carrots, vegetables, etc.), water and
breed the rabbits;
 Regularly clean the rabbit cages;
 Harvest the rabbits as needed.
The rabbits should be sufficient to supply around 500 families with regular fresh protein.
 Chicken Farming: Lastly, one can set up a small chicken farm that can produce eggs and chickens for local
consumption. It is envisaged that one can do the following to establish the chicken farm:
 Select a suitable site for the construction of a chicken house;
 Constructing the chicken house that will house a number of chickens;
 Construct a number of chicken perches and laying nests;
 Buy an initial breeding stock of a number of hens and a rooster;
 Feed (grass, leaves, cabbage leaves, carrots, vegetables, etc.), water and
breed the chickens;
 Regularly clean the chicken perches and laying nests;
 Harvest the eggs and the broilers as needed.
The eggs and broilers should be sufficient to supply around 500 families with regular fresh protein.

2.2.3 Operations
Some of the operational issues that must be addressed to ensure that the above food-security measures are
sustainable are:

 Regular Watering and Feeding: Animals and plants, like humans, must be fed and watered regularly. It is
absolutely vital that the local community members that have been selected to participate in the food security
project must diligently feed and water the plants and the animals;
 Protection: In addition, the plants and animals must be protected from predators. Again, the local
community members must be good stewards of what they have been entrusted with;
 Maintenance of Infrastructure and Equipment: Another vital aspect to ensure long-term sustainability is
the regular maintenance (cleaning, oiling, etc.) of all the equipment and the infrastructure established;
 Oversight and mentoring: While in production, the people involved in the project will be overseen and
mentored to ensure that they make a success out of the project.
 Up-scaled production facilities: Should the project be a success, it is envisioned that more land can be
acquired where more vegi-tunnels, or more chicken runs, or more rabbit stables can be established in order that
more people can get involved in the food security project.

2.3 Education and ABET

The educational strategy for the Educational Centre that KMA would like to adopt is as follows (see Figure 12):
 Short-Term Approach: Initially the Educational Centre will focus on the production of primarily ‘Blue
Collar’ workers, such as, electricians, mechanics, carpenters, chefs, hospitality workers and the like.
 Medium-Term Approach: However, as the younger students come up through the ranks, it will be possible
to shift the focus of the Educational Centre into producing both ‘Blue Collar’ and ‘White Collar’ workers.
This will require an intentional shift to develop more ‘White Collar’ skills after a 3 to 5-year period. At the
same time, it would be possible to establish a small College at the Educational Centre.

Figure 12: Educational Strategy for ACE Educational Centre

Note: The creche, pre-schoolers and Grade 1’s and 2’s will be streamed into this stream from the start.

 Long-Term Approach: In the longer term it would be possible to even improve the quality of the education
provided by the ACE Educational Centre to develop professionals, such as, doctors, engineers, etc. The
College can then be upgraded to cover University standard curricula after a 7 to 10-year period.

2.3.1 Educational Approach

As far as the educational approach is concerned, the following is relevant (and we acknowledge that this is
different to what is going on in most schools):
 Focused on the Individual Pupils: Firstly, we believe that Father God has said to us that He has created the
pupils to be individuals and that He wants us to develop the individual pupils to take up His creative
purposes. This will require, inter alia:
 That the Headmaster and the Educators at the Educational Centre pray over every individual student
to establish what Father God’s purpose is for that individual. They can make use of strongly prophetic
people on an ad-hoc basis to come and prophesy over the pupils to confirm what they believe Father’s
purposes are for the various pupils.
 The Educators can consequently start to stream the pupils into the various subjects that will enable
them to walk in what Father God wants them to accomplish. This can only be accomplished using a
self-study approach and curriculum, such as, that offered by ACE.
 Developing a Relationship with God: Another imperative is that the pupils must be shown experientially
how to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit and then walk in obedience to Him. To accomplish this, it is
envisaged:
 That voluntary daily devotions will be held, where the pupils can freely worship God, pray and study
the bible.
 That pupils will be encouraged to take time out to have a quiet time with God.

16
 Kingdom Mission Africa

 Christian Counselling and Mentoring services will be available for pupils.

 Educational Curriculum: It is the intention that the current ACE Curriculum will be used in the
Educational Centre. Aspects that are relevant are:
 The ACE Curriculum are Christ centric.
 The ACE Curriculum will enable the structuring of educational material to suit the individual purposes
of every pupil.
 It is a self-study approach that teaches the pupils from a young age to be self-motivated.
 Practical Skills Training: It is envisaged that the Educational Centre will have the following facilities that
can teach the pupils practical skills:
 A Hospitality Centre with a commercial kitchen and related infrastructure where pupils can be taught
practical skills, such as, cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc.
 A Metal-Work Workshop where pupils can be taught how to work with metal, welding, etc.
 A Wood-Working Workshop, where pupils will be taught the basic skills of woodworking, carpentry
and cabinet making.
 A Mechanical Workshop where pupils will be taught how to repair engines, gearboxes, cars, tractors,
etc.
 An Electrical Workshop where pupils will be taught how the basic electrical wiring and related skills.
 It is also envisaged that there will be opportunities for pupils to participate in Performing Arts, such as,
music, drama, dance, etc.
 Lastly, we intend to establish a large aquaponics unit, as well as several food production facilities that
will enable the Educational Centre to educate pupils and adults in better agricultural practices.
 Sporting Activities: It is envisaged that the Educational Centre will have basic sporting facilities that will
give the pupils the opportunity to participate in sports, such as, soccer, netball, etc.
 Feeding Scheme: We also intend to provide breakfast, teatime snacks and lunch for the pupils and staff at
the Educational Centre:
 Virtually all of the food will be produced by the food production facilities at the Educational Centre.
 The preparation of breakfast, the teatime snacks and lunch will be part of the practical training of the
hospitality students.
 Accommodation Units: It is envisaged that several simplex and duplex accommodation units will be
established on the site of the Educational Centre. These facilities can be made available for the Educators
and can even include an Orphanage (depending upon the requirements of the Community). It is also
envisaged that there will be a Guest House on the site that can accommodate for visitors. And the Hospitality
Students can help with the operations of the Guest House.
 Community Facility: It is envisaged that the local community will be able to make use of the Educational
Centre, including the sporting facilities, for Church services during the weekends and for Church meetings
during weekday evenings.

2.3.2 Educational Facilities

KMA would adopt the same kind of approach to the educational facilities than the accommodation units
described in Section 2.1. Some examples of what these facilities can look like is provided below.

2.4 Primary Health Care

We would also like to undertake new and strengthen existing primary health care services in the region. These
measures need more investigation and will be documented at a later stage.

Figure 19: Example of a Container Clinic

2.5 Ministry
KMA will also partner with Christian NGO’s and Christian Churches that can minster to the needs of abused
women, orphans / street children and single parent (women) households. Relating to this, KMA views the
following as essential:
 A Kingdom of God Gospel: We believe that every Believer has been called to be an Ambassador for Christ
in whatever Mountain(s) of God they should function in. Joel 2:1 to 11 speaks of God’s Army “God himself
bellows in thunder as He commands His forces. Look at the size of that army! And the strength of those who obey Him!
Each soldier does what he's told, so disciplined, so determined. They don't get in each other's way. Each one knows his
job and does it. Undaunted and fearless, unswerving, unstoppable.”
It is therefore imperative that Ministry Partners preach a Kingdom of God Gospel and make Disciples that
understand that they have been called by God for a Purpose in one of the seven Mountains of God and that
they understand that purpose.
 Renewed Minds and Hearts: It is likely that most of the women and the children will come with a lot of
emotional scars. Ministry Partners should be able to minister to these hurts and ensure that Believers renew
their minds and hearts to have the mind and heart of Christ.
 Relationship with the Triune God: It is also imperative that Believers be baptised in the Holy Spirit, know
the Bible, be taught how to hear and respond to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and have a relationship with
ABBA, King Jesus and the Spirit of Holiness (Rom 1:4, MKJV).
 Transform Believers into Sons / Daughters: We believe that it is not possible to walk in ABBA’s purposes
if we fully understand that we are Sons / Daughters of the living God – in Eph 2:4-8 “God, immense in mercy
and with an incredible love, embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ. He did all this on his
own, with no help from us!

21
 Kingdom Mission Africa

Then He picked us up and set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah. Now God has us where
He wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving
is all His idea, and all His work. All we do is trust Him enough to let Him do it. It's God's gift from start to finish!”
Given the long history of subjugation suffered by Coloured and Black South Africans at the hands of the
Caucasians, we also believe that simply preaching such a message is not enough – it has to go hand in hand
with improving their circumstances that they live in. How can someone that does not have food on the
table, or a decent roof over their head, really understand the goodness of God? It must be a practical
demonstration of God’s goodness that goes hand in hand with the preaching of the Word.
The Fellowship of the Believers in Act 2:42-47: “They committed themselves to the teaching of the apostles, the life
together, the common meal, and the prayers. Everyone around was in awe — all those wonders and signs done through
the apostles! And all the believers lived in a wonderful harmony, holding everything in common. They sold
whatever they owned and pooled their resources so that each person's need was met. They followed a daily discipline
of worship in the Temple followed by meals at home, every meal a celebration, exuberant and joyful, as they praised God.
People in general liked what they saw. Every day their number grew as God added those who were saved.”

3. Conclusion
KMA would like to undertake projects in disadvantaged black and coloured communities across Southern Africa,
that will improve the quality of life of FHH’s and orphans. A typical project will address the following aspects:
 Material Living Conditions: KMA would like to establish security villages with decent accommodation units
within their communities to ensure the safety of FHH’s, abused women and orphans, but also retain their
existing support structures and relationships.
 Livelihoods: KMA would like to establish fully equipped facilities, such as, a Bakery, a Coffee Shop, a small
Restaurant, a Sewing Room, an Internet Café, a Spaza Shop, a Soup Kitchen, a Laundry, etc., that the ladies
can own and operate, to ensure that they have sustainable livelihoods.
 Education: KMA would like to establish fully equipped educational facilities that range from a crèche, to
pre-school and Grade 1 to 5, that can also be used as ABET facilities after hours.
 Health: To ensure good family health, KMA would also like to establish a fully equipped Clinic that can
serve the community with basic health care services.
 Leisure and Social Interactions: Sports and leisure facilities, such as, a soccer field, a squash court, swings
and a climbing frame, a climbing wall, etc. will be constructed as part of the educational facilities, as it helps
with the small and large motor development of the children.
 Ministry: KMA will also partner with Christian NGO’s and Christian Churches that can minster to the
needs of abused women, orphans/street children and single parent (women) households.
KMA would like to partner with grant funders, Christian NGO’s and Christian Churches to impact FHH’s and
Orphans in disadvantaged black and coloured communities across Southern Africa and beyond. There is a lot
of ministry work required to negate the impact of subjugation suffered by Coloured and Black South African
families since 1652. Ultimately, we believe that our Heavenly Father wants to restore and reform family units to
be bearers of the image of Christ Jesus. This will inevitably lead to reformed communities and society.
