Broken homes, AIDS, sexual pressure, physical & emotional abuse, violence, lostness (7% born again) - the world many girls & young women of South Africa face daily. They need hope & a mentor to show how to make wise choices. Ready to make a difference? Live within the sprawling complexes of east Joburg where you’ll have a chance to develop relationships. Soon you’ll be able to start small groups where they’ll discover God who'll never abandon or abuse them, but always seek their best interest.
