The Essence of Kuyasa:
Kuyasa ‘s mission is to empower children and youth of previously disadvantaged communities to become independant while embracing Christian values. The dream is that they will lead and empower others to follow the same set of values.
Kuyasa is using a system of six separate levels of support and filtering to sift the youth of their community. As they educate, empower and equip they desire to move a select group forward thus giving them a greater opportunity to develop into leaders that will in turn develop other leaders.
- Level 1 – Emergency Relief & Crisis Care
- Level 2 – Educational & Spiritual Capacity Building
- Level 3 – Sifting & Testing Leaders
- Level 4 – Investing Further in Leaders
- Level 5 – Further Tertiary Training
- Level 6 – Established Christian Leaders Giving Back to the Community.
