TUNZWA PROGRAM

(9-12 Year Olds)

Welcome to Tunzwa! 

Tunzwa means ‘to be nurtured’, in Swahili. 

Tunzwa is a 3-year program for 9-12 year olds that integrates Biblical values into every interactive lesson of the curriculum, so as to enable your pre-teen to: 

  • Find their identity in Christ

  • Build healthy relationships with themselves and their peers 

  • Develop an understanding of their sexuality

  • Learn critical life skills

At New Dawn Mentorship, we're embarking on an exhilarating journey of transformation with our Tunzwa program, tailored specifically for preteens aged 9-12yrs.

This isn't just another preteens program; it's a dynamic expedition of growth, empowerment, and metamorphosis for the young minds of tomorrow!

Why We Do It: 

Our mission is clear, we're dedicated to instilling godly principles and Christ-like values in the hearts and minds of every preteen enrolled in our program.

We believe in nurturing a generation that's not just academically adept, but morally grounded and spiritually enriched.

Tunzwa embodies this commitment by seamlessly weaving biblical perspectives into every facet of the program.

How We Do It: 

The New Dawn Mentorship Tunzwa Curriculum © is delivered by a trained and vetted Facilitator.

  • A typical group consists of 6-8 single sex pre-teens.

  • The group meets monthly over a period of 3 years.

  • The monthly session takes place at their homes or at recommended venues so as to create a nurturing and safe environment that compliments their lessons.

Through interactive sessions, engaging activities, and meaningful discussions, we guide our young participants toward a deeper understanding of themselves, their identity in Christ, their sexuality and critical life skills in today's fast-paced world.

Our experienced facilitators foster an environment where questions are encouraged, values are explored, and growth is celebrated.

What to Expect: 

Enrolling your child in Tunzwa is a conscious step in becoming part of a supportive community.

We understand that it takes a village to raise a child, which is why we're committed to partnering with parents every step of the way.

Expect your preteen to embark on a transformative journey filled with learning, and meaningful connections to last them a lifetime.

The preteens will be taken through curated activities to evoke compassion, proactive leadership, and service to the community.

Tunzwa equips preteens with the tools they need to thrive in today's fragmented world.
