More Loving Early Learning Centre (ECD), founded by Ntate Silas Matshega, makes a significant contribution to the development of children who might otherwise go without care in Moretele, Mmotla in North West.

Pastor Silas started this school several years ago when he saw children scrounging for food at dump sites. Our impression of him was a man with a father’s heart for children and he subsequently succeeded in putting up a sanctuary against all odds.

Due to the financial challenges the Centre has experienced, Saki Tlotleng committed himself to assist the Centre in contacting the Department of Social Development for funding. This will be facilitated by the North West Province Men’s Sector. This is a long haul and in the meantime, Pastor Silas and his staff of three need all the help they can get.

Their motto is to love, take care, protect and teach the children, with God first, as the Centre is about Love. The 76 children aged 1 to 5 years are fed porridge for breakfast, some odds and ends for lunch and, if possible, a snack.

Their budget for a month is a mere R 3000.00. Water and electricity are R300 a month. The vegetable garden needs a gardener and the usual resources.

If you would like to sponsor a child, please contact René at 078 208 5818 for details. Pastor Silas is also on call at 076 621 9562.
