💻✨ Building Future-Ready Kids – One Click at a Time!

With our CEO, Michael Carolissen’s professional background in IT, it has become a priority at The Father’s Heart to equip our children with vital digital skills from an early age.


Our learners are being introduced to:
âś… Computer literacy
âś… Device maintenance
âś… Typing skills
✅ Microsoft Office programs – essential tools that will prepare them for academic growth and long-term workplace success.

In today’s world, IT literacy isn’t optional—it’s empowerment. By making lessons fun and engaging, we’re giving our kids not just skills, but the confidence to step into future opportunities.

🎧 And to keep things exciting… DJing classes are coming soon, led by our own resident DJ & CEO – Uncle Mike!

🚀 Watch this space as we continue to open doors for the next generation.

Music that turns trauma into triumph

Music plays a vital role in the development of the children we serve and has been a part of The Fathers Heart programs since inception.

Music is both powerful and therapeutic in helping them to express their emotions, reduce anxiety, help process trauma, and boost concentration and memory, which is important for growing young minds. It also provides a great environment for social interaction and teamwork, a sense of belonging and self-esteem whilst at the same time allowing us to nurture & develop talents in these children that could potentially be used as a means to generate an income and care for themselves & their families later in life. 

We kicked off our new Music Program at the beginning of the year where we offer our youth the opportunity to learn more about music theory, how to play instruments, participate in vocal coaching, being part of their own choir or maybe even a band in the future.

MusicWorks Holiday Club

We have had so many positive reports from the 50 kids who were able to participate in the 4-day workshop, facilitated by the wonderful, talented team from MusicWorks. The photos and videos speak for themselves; it is clear to see from the kids faces, beaming with joy and overflowing with excitement as they participated and played to the beat of the drums, while dancing their hearts out, that they had a ton of fun.

A huge thank you to Renew Trust who sponsored our Music Themed Holiday Workshop for our kids and to Raymond and his team, and our team for the outstanding holiday club program. A big thanks also to the Rotaract of Bellville, who visited us and blessed the kids with lunch and treats on Wednesday. We appreciate all the support! See you all in the new term!

Superbook teaches children timeless life lessons through the captivating, Bible-based adventures of two time-traveling children and their robot friend. Superbook is the Bible brought to life through animation to introduce children to Jesus and help develop their faith.

Each Monday, our kids get to experience the bible in a fun and interactive way and we are grateful to CBN for partnering with us to bring the message of Jesus to the kids in the community of Fisantekraal.

On the last day of term, our kids got to go on an exciting adventure and to learn more about the true meaning of Easter. Thank you CBN & Superbook Mzanzi for such a fun and blessed event. Watch the video below for some highlights.
