EL SHADDAI CHILDREN'S HOME

The Children’s Home exists in two locations: a home in a city off the mountain for infants and children under age 6, and several dormitories on the mountain including a boy’s dorm and a girl’s dorm, and separate dorms for high school students. From infants to high school seniors, El Shaddai is presently home to approximately 56 children.

EL SHADDAI PRIMARY SCHOOL

El Shaddai Primary School (grades 1-7) was the first primary school in Swaziland that did not charge school fees for its students. While the school was built by El Shaddai Ministires, children from the community attend the school along with the children of El Shaddai. The school is currently assisted by Swaziland government curriculum and teachers, although the ultimate vision is to use Christian curriculum taught by Christian teachers.

EL SHADDAI HIGH SCHOOL

The past 2 years, our high school students have joined our new local high school approximately 9km from the home. Some of them walk down as we do not have transport for all the students. Pray for their safety on the road daily. Fundukwela students returned home on the mountain or relocated to their family homes. Not only was the quality of education not up to our standards, but our youth were being influenced by the strong culture of alcohol and drugs (primarily marijuana). These are common themes in all Swazi high schools, and we felt it was best for our students to be moved from that environment.

CLINIC

Adjacent to El Shaddai Church, the clinic is open to the children and staff of El Shaddai as well as residents of the surrounding community at no charge. It is operated by licensed medical professionals to treat those unable to pay for medical care when they visit the home.

EL SHADDAI FARM & GARDEN

The property boasts acreage used exclusively to raise farm animals (currently chickens and rabbuts) as well as a large plot of land for gardening. Both the farm and garden help offset food costs at the Children’s home and provide maize to the school and vegetables to the surrounding community.
