National School Chaplaincy Programme

The National School Chaplaincy Programme is part of a movement that has begun in South Africa where educators are much more involved with the day to day real life issues in their learner’s lives.
The National School Chaplaincy Programme is a joint initiative of Reaching a Generation, Joyce Meyer Ministries and One Hope. They have began the National School Chaplaincy Programme to build a structure from which we can help interested educators build capacity, receive resources and be part of a team working together.
The programme is a Christian based and designed to inculcate good values in the lives of children and youth. It aims to equip educators to appropriately deal with the problems that many young people face.
