In Zulu this title means "Hands reaching out to the Child" and is the reason we named our charity what we did.

​

LK employs Social workers and facilitators. They help to house, clothe and feed some poor people in the community, identified to them by a large number of volunteers and churches.

​

The Charity helps to trace birth/death certificates to enable people to access pensions, child benefits, schools, etc.

​

LK also run several 'After School Clubs' where orphans and vulnerable young people get help with school work and can receive counselling where necessary. The children also receive a meal and drink.

​

ROTTC fund the operation of 3 of these After School Clubs at 3 schools - Nhlamvu, Tshongwe and Ekuseni.

​

Once or twice a year, LK take over a school premises for a weekend - Friday lunchtime to Sunday afternoon - to run a Psyco Social Workshop. They invite all the orphans and vulnerable children in the area, often over 100. They provide food and counselling in the following areas - 

• Living with AIDS

• Living with grief/bereavement

• Sexual Health

• Self esteem

​

When we are in South Africa, we fund the cost of this and participate.We start each session with Bible stories and singing and later on we see each group for time where we teach christian songs and craftwork.
