Every Saturday Refilwe hosts a program that brings children of Refilwe and the Joe Slovo community together for a morning of fun. This day includes bible verses, praise and worship, memory verses and a nutritious meal. We average 120 children at a kids club plus 20 – 30 youth helpers. This program runs from 8:30-13:00, including the preparation time.

SATURDAY KIDS CLUB - BRINGING OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER
YOUTH LEADERSHIP
Over the last couple years, Refilwe has worked closely with the youth of our community to develop them into leaders. This has formed the foundation of program as the youth leaders perform many of the functional parts of kids club. We have empowered our youths to prepare and serve the food as well as cleaning up after kids club. They also help with oversight with the kids and encouragement to participate. We have partnered with the GEM project which awards volunteers with GEMs. These GEM can take the form of airtime, movie tickets and other services.
Kids Club is a great way for volunteers to see and experience that we work that we do and to make an impact into our community!
