SayPro Neftaly Kingdom Report
Introduction
As part of Neftaly Kingdom’s mission to empower and uplift children in our communities, we conducted a series of engagement sessions across several schools in the Diepsloot area.Our goal was to create a safe and supportive environment where children feel seen, heard, and valued.
Following the activity sessions, we held individual interviews with each child to better understand their personal experiences, expectations, and overall well-being. These conversations allowed us to assess the effectiveness of our approach and to gather insights that will shape future initiatives.
Main Report
While many of the children responded positively and expressed a desire to remain involved in the program, a portion did not return after the interview phase. This indicates that the sense of trust and connection we strive to build may not yet be strong enough in all cases, which presents an important area for growth.
In an effort to bridge the gap and improve communication, we created a WhatsApp group with the parents of participating children. Through this group, we share regular updates, photos, and videos of the day’s activities, ensuring that families remain informed and engaged.
We recognize that building lasting relationships with children, especially in a short timeframe, can be challenging. However, our team remains dedicated to adapting our methods and increasing the program’s impact.
