Helping to make a world of difference

Pieter & Rika oversee most of the projects with which Project Moz work. They are dedicated to the cause of caring for the country’s people and work alongside All Nations (a global church planting ministry) to help transform communities and provide for children who are orphaned or abandoned.

Pieter and Rika provide a loving family environment for their children to grow up in. They currently have two houses, looking after a total of over 25 children and babies (about 20% of which are HIV positive). As well as caring for the children, their ministry also has a community focus. They have set up a small business project which currently employs women to make beaded jewellery, which are then sold at a local market. This not only gives the women an income with which to support their families, but also provides independence and dignity.

Pieter and Rika’s ministry continues to grow, as their reputation does, with the social welfare often bringing children to them to care for, even though they are running out of space. At the end of 2009 Project Moz was able to donate the money for them to purchase a plot of land, which they intend to build their own house on, on order that the children will always have a family home to return to. Their long term vision, supported by Project Moz, is to build a small school and Aids clinic from which they can serve the community.
