Child Sponsorship Programme     



This programme support vulnerable children in Bloekombos whose lives have been impacted by HIV/Aids. This project is managed in partnership with Horizon International (USA) who supports 20 children on a monthly basis. Support is in the form of a financial contribution which is used for example vouchers for food and clothes. The money is strictly administered by Sarfat to ensure that it is used for the child’s benefit and not misused by other family members. Through this project we give hope to children who mainly are orphans, stigmatized and without support. Sarfat also sourced South Africans who can sponsor children and currently we have 5 children that are being sponsored by South Africans.

The Child Sponsorship assistant conducts home visits and offer support and advice to the caregivers and families where needed.

HIV Support group      



The Masikuhle HIV/AIDS Support Group were started in 2002 in conjunction with the local AIDS counselor, Ms Mieta Mcanda. It currently provides emotional, physical and spiritual support to 12-15 Bloekombos women that are HIV positive. In addition, the members support one another. Their weekly programme also incorporates craft skills training like beading, fabric painting etc. A nutritious meal, prepared by volunteers from our Partnership churches, is served at each meeting and members receive a weekly food parcel to help build their immunity system.

Kids club     



This programme is for all the children on the child sponsorship programme to develop them holistically by teaching them life skills and Bible based principles. We have a youth leader from one of our partnering churches who present a weekly fun, Bible based programme on Fridays. Kids club offer a place for these children where they can focus on being a child and escape from their worries and fears.

Building project     







A Multi-purpose training centre is in the process of being built. The vision for the centre is:     
  • To provide training that could lead to employment.
  • To provide an after-school care for primary school children.
  • To provide a computer training facility and library
  • To train people the basics in cooking and provide a soup kitchen.
  • Church services.
The expected impact of this project is the upliftment of a community through providing employment and training for adults, empowering them to become either self-employed or better their chance to find a job.  

Sarfat can only continue building as funds become available and approximately R2 million is needed.

Bible Class


Pastor Patrick Plaatjies is currently tutoring our Bible class every Saturday from 09H00 to 11H00. These classes are such an exciting project to all the kids in the community. Sarfat Community Projects strives to, together with Pastor Plaatjies, teach the children the importance of having Christ a part of your life.

Needlework/Sewing Projects


The sewing and needlework classes seems to be a very popular project under the women in the community. These projects are offered every 15th week to 15 new women. Our aim is to teach these women the basic skills of needlework and then offer them the opportunity to be able to produce their own garments and gain an income from this.

The Swop Shop is a project offered to primary school children in Bloekombos every second Wednesday. This project allows the kids to gather all recycleable material in the community. These materials are then brought to our premises in Bloekombos. Each item are being weighed and, according to the weight, a point is awarded. These points represent a certain item for example, toiletries, food stuffs, stationary, etc. NO SWEETS, GAS DRINKS OR CHIPS. This project is very popular amongst these kids.
Not only do they get something good out of it but at the same time are being taught, as much as we can, about keeping the environment clean.
