welcome to Jerusalem Ministries
Giving hope and a future
Jerusalem Ministries, established in 1995, is an organisation that has a heart for marginalized communities and in a unique way managed to develop a relationship between two such communities (destitute men and vulnerable or orphaned children), so that they have become beneficial to each other.
Restoration Centre
Our Restoration Centre, located at our head office, currently provides a safe and supportive environment for 23 previously homeless men. Here, residents are offered accommodation in dormitories, daily meals, and access to counselling services.
Every resident participates in a structured restoration program designed to address core life challenges such as addiction, relationships, anger management, and financial stability. Completion of this initial 6-week program is essential before beginning the gradual reintegration process into society.
Following this, residents are given up to 6 months to re-establish themselves, supported by our ongoing guidance and resources.
Human Dignity Centre
Our feeding schemes are done through creches within Walmer Township in Gqeberha, the local leaders help us identify those in need when we have excess food our other items.
Our Vision
To give hope and a future to vulnerable children and destitute people.
Our Mission
Our services will enable the children and adults to be resilient in the face of tough times and confidently pursue moral and constructive goals.
Therefore, to achieve our mission and vision we endeavour to embrace the following principles:
Encourage donors to make effective charitable decisions through our donor-centric approach to philanthropy.
Grow the Ministry’s unrestricted assets to provide for diverse community needs for generations to come.
Listen to the needs of our donors and our community.
Collaborate to work closely with the community to achieve their needs, our mission and vision.
Feeding Scheme
Our focus here is on minimising the problem of malnutrition. Each child who attends our school receives 3 healthy meals during the day. For some, this is the only food that they will receive.
When possible, we provide food parcels for our children and carers, which is often shared with the greater community.
