The <strong>Doxa</strong> <strong>Deo</strong> Foundation represents a range of projects,<br />
all aimed at making a contribution to improve society by<br />
raising City Changers, empowering the disempowered, and<br />
working to make a difference in the welfare of the people<br />
of South Africa by engaging positively in eight spheres of<br />
society.<br />
The eight Spheres being: Education, the Arts, Business, the<br />
Church, Social Society, Government, Media and Sport.<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
[Children/Education/ECD/BEE SED/Tax]<br />
We believe that Christ must be exalted in every sphere of<br />
society. We have established schools to model a Christ<br />
Centred Education model. We have seen many children<br />
discover their identity in Christ and potential in Him. We<br />
are raising City Changers who will make a difference in<br />
every area of involvement.<br />
There are currently three <strong>Doxa</strong> <strong>Deo</strong> Schools which are situated<br />
at the following sites:<br />
1. Eastern suburbs of Pretoria,<br />
2. Edendale, close to Mamelodi,<br />
3. Hartbeespoort at the Xanadu Eco Estate.<br />
The schools have enrolled approximately 1 700 learners.<br />
There are also two pre-schools:<br />
1. Kinderland in Centurion,<br />
2. POPKids in Salvokop<br />
The pre-schools have enrolled approximately 200<br />
children.<br />
There is the possibility that an existing pre-school<br />
based in Garankuwa with 60 children will in future<br />
be managed by <strong>Doxa</strong> <strong>Deo</strong> Schools in association<br />
with POPKids.<br />

EDUCATIONAL ENGAGEMENT<br />
[Education/HIV/Aids/Poverty Alleviation/Discipleship]<br />
We are acutely aware that there are many felt needs to address<br />
in the private and public schools of our cities.<br />
<strong>Our</strong> children are calling out for direction and we have the<br />
answer. We need to introduce them to Christ and disciple<br />
them in order for them to find their purpose in life. We<br />
also want to reach, serve and have an impact in the lives<br />
of parents, teachers and principals. We have the following<br />
programmes reaching the major role players in schools:<br />
• TREE (Transforming the Educational Environment)<br />
– <strong>Doxa</strong> <strong>Deo</strong> established an outreach<br />
programme called TREE, focusing on schools in<br />
an effort to support the educational staff and<br />
the school leadership to effectively guide learners<br />
through the challenges unique to their age<br />
groups. TREE is a holistic outreach to all stakeholders<br />
in a school: learners, parents, teachers and<br />
principals. TREE is a programme based on Biblical<br />
principles and addresses issues such as: identity,<br />
character and morality. We are currently involved<br />
in 55 schools in Tshwane.<br />
• Acts2Change – This is an empowerment program<br />
custom designed for township schools, using a<br />
programme called ‘It takes Courage’ developed<br />
in conjunction with Kerus Global Education in<br />
the USA. Active in 37 schools in Soshanguve,<br />
the program addresses HIV/Aids education and<br />
prevention, as well as an orientation to Christian<br />
based morals.<br />
