Metro Kids Africa

Metro Kids Africa cares for children and young people from socially disadvantaged families. You can get involved by joining our Child Sponsorship Programme and sponsor a child in Africa.

“Helping Children Create a Better Future”

Children

Metro Kids Africa holds weekly outdoor programmes for 4-12 year olds filled with fun, games, songs and Christian based value teachings. These are all held in the communities that the children live in.

Youth

Teenagers who have been part of Metro Kids Africa are encouraged to join the Leadership Development Programme. Here they are mentored in their Christian faith and supported through their teenage years.

Families

Through regular home visits, Metro Kids Africa supports children and their families with food parcels, school necessities and emergency care issues when the need is there.

James and I have recently had a trip to the USA to meet with staff at Metro World Child (MWC) in New York and connect with people who support Metro Kids Africa (MKA) in Georgia. This was our first trip to the USA in several years and it was a time of real encouragement for us.

Become a part of Metro Kids Africa and you can impact a child’s life forever.

Individuals

We welcome volunteer work in South Africa. Volunteers can join us for a week or a few months! You will join our team in helping carry out the weekly programmes, assist with home visits in the children’s communities and impact the lives of vulnerable children.

Groups and Churches

We love when groups join us to help with camps, holiday clubs and building projects. Children are uplifted when teams from other countries visit them. Your heart will be touched and you will be changed forever as you work alongside our passionate teams to benefit the lives of the children.

Sponsor A Child In Africa

The sponsorship is a vital part of Metro Kids Africa. When you become a sponsor you are going to make a difference in an African child’s life.

Testimonials

I had the honor of being on a mission trip with Metro Kids Africa as we served the wonderful children of South Africa. It was great to see with my own eyes the impact MKA is having in sharing the love of Christ with so many children. The children are growing in their faith, and through them their families are growing and the community is getting stronger.

My wife and I spent 5 months with MKA soon after we got married. It was such a joyfull and formative time. Not only because of the excelent work MKA is doing in the South African township communities, but also because of the lovely leaders and the team we could work with.
