A New Road for Children in South Africa

Giving changes their lives. Going changes yours.

Countless children in South Africa feel hopeless. They’re trapped in extreme poverty and suffer abuse and trauma. We rescue them and provide 24/7 care, including housing, meals, and a Biblically-based education through high school—all within a safe environment for healing. As a result, children are giving their lives to Jesus and discovering hope for both today and eternity.

When a child loses hope, they lose sight of tomorrow

Across South Africa, millions of children grow up surrounded by overwhelming challenges.

  • 63% of children live in poverty

  • 65% never finish high school

  • 40% have experienced abuse

One South African school administrator described it this way:

“People often have a tough time wrapping their minds around the trauma South Africans have been through.”

Without intervention, vulnerable children often remain trapped in a cycle of poverty, broken families, and limited opportunity. But there is a different road.

You Can Help Change the Story

At New Road Missions, we believe every child deserves:

A safe place to live | A strong education | The hope of the Gospel

That’s why we created The Fold — a Christ-centered community where vulnerable children can heal, grow, and dream again. Through The Fold, children receive care in seven key areas of life, including:

  • Safe Housing

  • Nutritious Food

  • Clothing and Supplies

  • Spiritual Growth

  • Medical Care

  • Education

  • Character Development

The Next Chapter…

Over 100 children have had to be turned away due to limited capacity.

Together, we can change that.

New Road Missions owns 92 acres in South Africa and is working toward a bold goal of growing from 31 children to 120 children at The Fold.

New homes, staff housing, and expanded facilities will open the door for hundreds of children to find a new road forward. Join us in our efforts!
