01 / A HEART THAT GOES BIG
Meet Big E, our loving green elephant and the heart of our celebrations. He reminds every child of God’s unconditional love: bigger, taller and deeper than anything we can imagine.
His name is BIG because his love never shrinks. He inspires us to do great big things for children, one unforgettable moment at a time.
His favourite instrument?
The trumpet, of course!
Every celebration starts with a little love.

04 / A LOVE THAT LIVES ON
The legacy of Mrs Amelia
Thulethu Mnweba.
Our beloved Mawe.
Some people leave us things.
Others leave us a way to love.
Our Christmas celebration honours the founder’s beloved grandmother, Mawe. With limited education and no employment, she raised five God-fearing, educated children, trusting in prayer and her relationship with God.
She prayed for her children to be protected, to become impactful and influential through their relationship with Him, and to achieve the highest possible academic qualifications.
“Ngi ba qelela u guthi ba be”“Nga mamablomi ehlabathi” Beautiful ‘flowers’ on earth
“Efa la se zulwini” Eternal life
“Efa la se mhlabeni” Education
Mawe lived a long, healthy life and departed to glory in 2013, aged 93. Her prayer has become a family heirloom. We carry her love forward, passing the baton to the next generation.
THERE’S ROOM FOR YOUR LOVE HERE, TOO.
A donation. A sponsorship. A little of your heart.
Help us create the next unforgettable moment.
