a maize mill at Malelane mission. Basic machinery, people bring their
grain and pay a small amount to have it milled. This brings in financial help for the
missions needs. |
 |
|
 honey hives work well in some
mission areas. |
|
Paw-paws grow well at Malelane but not at KSB |
|
 only the Gospel can change hearts
and deal with the root cause of poverty |
| |
 |
The reality of Aids, poverty and death is part of the mission field.
Kwasizabantu helps with distributing aid to orphans and has a hospice (Emseni Care Clinic)
for the dying. |

The reality of Aids is all around us. To do something about it, KSB aims
to change the heart,
and their living conditions. |
 Emseni Care Clinic is a type of
hospice, & is
being expanded for another 75 beds |
|
 |
| |
 |
you can keep free
range chickens, or build,
chicken homes, as in the next 2
slides. |
|
You could leave chickens to roam around (organic chickens?) or choose to
put them under a roof (as on the left and bottom left) |
|
|
 at Malelane a
small bakery has been set up to help sustain the mission |
|
 |
| |
 |
Jam production is low-tech and is easy to teach to other missions |
 |
|
 we could stick with low-tech
milking, but it can become a viable commercial option as it has at KSB |
|
 yoghurt |
|
high tech milk processing |
| |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
pasta production
a small but immensely popular project |
 |
|
 |
| |
 |
pottery is another basic skill which can be learned & passed on to
others |
 |
|
 |
weaving skills, a small project, but very useful and can be used to train
others |
 |
|
 |
| |
 |
woodwork is an essential part of any mission |
 |
how would we manage without the dedication of people like Uncle Robert
Maeder? |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
| |
 |
a bakery for bread and confectionary is a great help to the mission |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
avocado pears are one of the bigger projects, for export, and sale on
South African markets |
 |

 |
you didn't know we had an aluminium and glass factory? |
 |
|
 |
all missions have little children |
 |
new creche being built to the right |
 |
plumbing is essential. Kai and his team have more than
enough work cut out for them |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
sweet peppers (capsicum) is an enormous project and it provides jobs for
many, for the mission, and financial help for KSB |
 |
|
 |
| |
 |
|
 |
The mission shop can sell its own produce as well as other products to the
whole neighbourhood. |
 |
|
 |
we live in a time where we need to source all possible means of energy.
Solar power, is used, generators (when Eskom does "load shedding") and we're
looking into other types. |
 |
We live close to extremely poor areas. Assistance, in the
form of food, clothing and medical help, goes along with preaching the Gospel. |
