Ekudzeni is located to the west of Manzini, Eswatini. The rural area of Ekudzeni has few employment opportunities and a high rate of alcoholism, and many families in this area go without food on a daily basis. Many children are abandoned and are left to be raised by the community “gogos” (grandmothers). There is an incredible need to support orphaned and vulnerable children in the community.
The Ekudzeni CarePoint currently provides food for more than 200 children—from ages one to 18. There are currently five gogos who volunteer and cook at the CarePoint. The people at this location have an incredible vision to holistically care for the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of the children at this CarePoint by meeting basic needs and providing life-giving discipleship to give them hope and a future.
With the partnership of the K2 Church, the children at Ekudzeni CarePoint have the opportunity to grow physically, spiritually, and emotionally while the K2 Church also experiences positive transformation!
