Home Page - Moms for Wellington

Helping to provide for our children’s physical needs is a heartfelt matter in our organisation.

We strive to create a safe space for our children.

It is our desire to serve, equip and empower both children and parents.

We are creating an atmosphere of love.

Who we are

We are a dedicated group of individuals who believe that above and beyond our families, we can also make an impact in the lives of vulnerable mothers and children in Wellington and its surroundings. For us it is a calling to be the hands and feet of Jesus and to share God’s love in our community.

What we do

Our main focus is to caring, feeding and teaching 160 children between the ages of 3 and 6 years. These children cannot afford to be in a day care, creche or preschool and are left to play in the street or surrounding areas where they can get hurt or be abused…

Feeding Program

We are able to provide over 150 children with breakfast and lunch twice a week. Meals are also served during the June and December holidays.

Clothing Program

The project envisages the collection of used or pre-loved children’s clothes and then distributes it to the families in need.

Discipleship Program

In this program we focus to connect with children and create an atmosphere of learning.

Special Needs Program

As a tutor for children with special needs, Elra Smit joined Moms-for-Wellington to be involved with adults with intellectual disability.

Bright Star (First Light)

First Light on BrightStar was designed as an introduction to the BrightStar Life Skills Programme. Facilitator Margaux Reitzma presents this course to all of our Community Volunteers.

Basic First Aid

It’s a fact that a practical knowledge of first aid can save lives. A basic first aid course is attended by our volunteers to be prepared for emergencies at home or play. Simple hands-on knowledge of basic first aid can make a difference in an emergency.

Toddler Development Programs

On Monday, Wednesday and Friday’s we focus on school readiness. Children who do not have a school placement for grade R are invited to Miss Loretta’s “Little Jewels” class, where she focuses on developing skills necessary for Grade 1.

Shine Course

Shine is an 8 week course for women that helps to develop an understanding of her own personal worth, strength and purpose and realize the potential within her to live her best life.

Armoured against the world

Ephesians 6:10-20 teaches us about the armour that God provides for His children. The Avodah group for intellectually impaired people has made practical use of this section of the Scriptures in their everyday lives.

Our kids travel through Wellington

Hello Everyone!

I am 5 years old and attend school at the “Juweeltjies” in the Mosaic Centre in Blignaut Street, Wellington. Our school is part of “Ma’s-vir-Wellington” community project and here they prepare me to be ready for Big School which I will be attending next year.

The Mother Design

Jenene Petersen of The World Needs a Father (TWNAF) movement presented The Mother Design course to 22 of our volunteers. Our heart’s desire is to work with TWNAF and empower mothers and wives in our community to support their families in spite of a fatherless generation.

An angel amongst us

His name is Michael. He is a handsome little boy, well dressed with impeccable manners. Michael attracts my attention because he never participates in any of our activities. When I arrive at school early in the morning, he is usually already seated and waiting for the day to start.
