Made for More

Our vision is to see restoration, revival and hope in disabled communities.
Our mission is guiding and empowering disabled communities to discover their abilities, worth and divine purpose through disability sport, whole life coaching (mentorship), leadership/sports camps and community projects.
Love

Unity

Kindness

Justice

Righteousness

These values reveal our heart for what we hope to build the organisations foundations on. Firstly, we desire the love of Christ to be the foundation and guiding force in everything that we do.
We value unity because we strongly believe that visions thrive in an environment of unity which is the outflow of building and maintaining solid relationships. We desire unity for ALL God’s people and we hope to bring an environment of inclusion and oneness regardless of people’s disability, cultural background, socio-economic status or religious beliefs.
Kindness, justice and righteousness are values that are often not shown to people with disabilities therefore we desire to exercise these values in the hope of reviving, restoring and bringing justice to this community.

About:
‘Made for More’ was founded and built on relationships. Everything we do is created in and flows through relationships. While working at a physically disabled school in Durban, South Africa, I started to discover and see the need to invest in so much more than just education and sport and that there was a deep longing to know and be known more holistically. As my relationships grew with the children, a deep yearning for them to know that they were created for more began to stir in my heart. While journeying with a boy, Ranetsi Manyoni and seeing the affect that sport had in transforming his life physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, I began to wonder why it should stop there. ‘Made for More’ uses sport as a vehicle to bring hope, build relationships, and instill morals and values, while equipping and giving athletes the opportunity to pursue their sporting careers provincially and on a National level. When coaching, we don’t just focus on a physical, one dimensional level, but we seek to go deeper and to invest in the heart of the athlete. We desire our brothers and sisters to break free from societies conformities and stigma’s about who they are and what they can do, and discover that that are ‘Made for More’. We desire to see hearts and minds renewed as well as filled with a unique passion and purpose for their lives. We desire to see this people group restored and filled with love, acceptance and hope for a better future.
