BAFENYI

Helping people win!

Bafenyi

is the setswana word for "winners" and we want to see people win, regardless of their circumstances

join the journey



Bafenyi means ‘winners’ in the Setswana language, and we are passionate about helping people win regardless of their circumstances. Our goal is to reach adults and children who live in poor areas of our community, that often feel lost, neglected and rejected by society. We aim to meet their need by providing physical and spiritual food. Currently we are reaching a 1000 people per week through our feeding scheme, which is our main vehicle towards combating poverty and hopelessness within the community.
Our core values towards poverty relief and helping people win is; being responsible, honest and accountable with all donations received, empowering other churches and organisations to make an impact in the community, loving others well and following Jesus Christ.
‘Diatla’ means hands and we love to take hands with other organisations who want to make a difference in the lives of people. Some of the organisations that we have worked with are Feisty Females and Fire and Fragrance South Africa (discipleship training school).
We have built a community centre in Promosa where Bafenyi and networking partners can present trainings and workshops from.

“ Community is a sign that love is possible in a materialistic world where people so often either ignore or fight each other. It is a sign that we don’t need a lot of money to be happy—in fact, the opposite. “

“ I was blessed to come alongside the team at Bafenyi Trust during my Discipleship Training Outreach. Part of our ministry was partnering with the local communities that they support and this had a life changing impact on me. Each week we came alongside the communities in Promosa and Ikageng – loving on them and sharing the gospel of Jesus. During that time we saw change and transformation, miracle healings, God’s provision and I will be forever thankful for the hand-print left in my heart by these beautiful people! I am so thankful that my family has grown and a part of my heart will forever belong with you guys, my South Africa family “

“ Part of this family is our sponsors – people from the community, who are willing to open their hearts and hands to contribute to the need at the pre-schools, whether this is blankets, food, learning material, money for training purposes etc. Together we can win and our country will prosper because our children are stimulated and happy. I am proud to be on “the other side” of the family now, being a sponsor. Never will I able to leave my Bafenyi family! “

“ I was fortunate enough to work at Bafenyi for about a year and a half. It was like most part of life; not always nice or easy, but good! It was more than just good it was such a rich and life changing experience. What I loved most about Bafenyi was the connections and relationships that were formed – across a multitude of borders. There was a constant sharing of stories and doing life, whether it was in the office, multiple trips to the department of social services, waiting in line at SARS or at the hospital. It was more than just a regular job. It was working together for change in a community. “
