Holistic Ministry

Emotional

Everyday in all sectors of the work at TEMAK, counseling is given to those who need it. This has helped to raise the self esteem of many girls in need of special protection who fall under one of our target group.

Spiritual and psychological counseling is given to the girls and children at TEMAK. As many as ten sessions are held each day! This helps them deal with the difficult and often life threatening and confusing situations that they experience in their lives.

Spiritual

Morning devotions: the entire TEMAK family starts the day every morning with a one hour devotion. This is a time of prayer to God, praise and worship and listening to words of hope and encouragement from the Word of God. A God fearing atmosphere has proved best for rehabilitation of the hurting girls and AIDS orphan children.

Bible study: Every Monday, an hour is set aside in the afternoon bible study. This is a session that helps the young people to understand and study the word of God, helping them to become better peer evangelists and disciples.

Fellowship: A time of fellowship in God's presence every Wednesday afternoon has proved a blessing to all at TEMAK. Praise and worship is offered to God and testimonies given by the girls followed by prayer and reading of the Word. Signs, miracles, and wonders have been eminent.

Physical

Housing Assistance: TEMAK pays for rent for girls living with HIV, most of whom have been rejected, marginalized, and chased away from their homes and community due to their conditions.

Nutritional Support: TEMAK provides food to adolescent teen girls and orphan children living with HIV in order to improve their health. This also takes place during the home based care visits. Lunch is provided at the centre to all of the girls and children.

Clothing: TEMAK distributes clothing and other supplies provided by the community to the girls and children helping them feel part and parcel of a well dressed community.

Health Care: The TEMAK Clinic provides medication to girls, young women and children living with HIV. Mainly herbal, immune booster medicines are prescribed and multi - vitamins are provided. Medications that help with opportunistic infections and antibiotics are also provided.
