Dunamis Christian School

Dunamis establishes preschools in Hani Park Informal Settlement. The preschools have approximately 200 students attending. There are no schools in this township and the children have no opportunity to attend schools. Once the children complete preschool they obtain an educational bursary to attend Dunamis Christian School. Orphans and vulnerable children obtain full bursaries for 12 years until they finish Gr. 12. Dunamis has 258 students attending from Gr. R to Gr. 12.

The Gr. 12 graduates are given the opportunity to establish an entrepreneurial business which is sponsored by Jobs for Life. After 5 years the business becomes their own and they are fully integrated into community.

University bursaries are obtained for Gr 12 graduates with high academic potential. 13 ECD Educators have graduated and 5 students are sponsored to complete a National Professional Educational Diploma.

Community projects include: A multi purpose drop in centre where 250 children receive a cooked meal, clothing, sports development. Primary school children attend homework classes and Bible Study.

Caregivers attend Math and English Literacy classes as well as a Bible Study on Saturdays.
