Johannesburg

I Care has merged with Thembalethu Ministries and we are operating a Drop-In Centre, based on the Hope Centre model, from the Melville Union Church. We are looking to acquire more suitable premises in the Brixton area, before the end of this year. Three of the seven boys who attend programmes at Melville Union Church, were sent on the Khuthaza Adolescent Development Programme (ADP) at our rehabilitation centre in Kwa Makutha. After successfully completing this three month course, these boys returned to Gauteng and have been enrolled at the St Antony's Skills Centre in Boksburg to learn basic building trade skills. We have rented a property in Boksburg to house them for the duration of these programmes. A qualified house parent is to oversee these boys and to provide ongoing counselling.  One of the vehicles from KZN has also been sent to Johannesburg enabling the Outreach Team to operate more effectively and collect children from the areas frequented by street children. 

Needs for the Johannesburg operation:

• Premises for a Drop-In Centre
• Clothing for boys
• Zulu bibles
• Volunteers to assist with daily programmes
• Food

If you are able to help us in any of these areas, please contact us!
