Tshega Christian Mission was established in 2004 with the desire to educate and empower the disadvantaged and vulnerable communities that are affected by unemployment and undesirable living circumstances.

The founder, Ellanie van Rooyen, was already teaching in a school when the doors were about to close and so she registered TCM and now serves the community of Bolebedu South in a holistic manner. Reaching the villages through education and outreaches.

The Lighthouse Academy was started in 2009 and is a fully functioning independent primary school and just one of the programs that run from the base of the organisation. Every 10th child is a sponsored child and in so we are able to reach more vulnerable children to help improve education in this country.

Other programs include the Kindergarten, Lamb’s Haven as well as Basadi, Women’s skills project that help to empower vulnerable women in the villages by giving them valuable skills, self worth and a way to provide for their families.

TCM does not stop at educating children and women but serves also the physical needs and spiritual needs of the community. We are committed to seeing transformation in the lives of every one who is involved with TCM.
