Second Table Ministries is a non-profit Christian service organization dedicated to helping the poorest of the poor in South Africa. We work with trusted partners in South Africa to help poverty-stricken but deserving people strengthen their ability to help themselves.
What we do
With the help of generous friends like you, Second Table Ministries works to . . .
- Equip desperately poor black churches in South Africa to address the most urgent needs in their communities, including hunger, clean water, education and employment.
- Encourage both white and black congregations to work together closely as a vital step toward racial reconciliation.
- Keep people informed of the needs and opportunities for service in South Africa.
How we work
Second Table Ministries uses an innovative approach to helping people in need. We . . .
- Encourage primary control by local South African communities.
- Engender cooperation between white and black churches.
- Require a meaningful financial investment by communities that benefit. The people we work with have an incentive to help themselves and a stake in the outcome.
- Insist on a sustainable outcome that continues after our involvement in a project ends.
