Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page

We will be rolling our sleeves up and getting involved with home visits , education, HIV/AIDS prevention workshops, gender specific activities, and supporting the local church amongst other things.

Ethembeni was established by the Howick Community Church in November 2000 as a social outreach programme in the township of Mpophomeni, about 12kms outside the town Howick in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands. Today, this outreach has developed into an independent, registered, non-profit organisation with programmes aimed at caring for sick and vulnerable adults and children affected by HIV and TB in the Umgeni and Mpofana municipalities.

Ethembeni in Zulu means ‘Place of Hope’. They recognise that when followers of Jesus come together to serve Him, hope is created. Hope is a future worth having. Therefore, their vision is to see, through Jesus, hope-filled families free from the brokenness of HIV and TB.

We are covering all our own costs, donations received via this page will all go directly to HIV/AIDS projects such as Ethembeni supported by Tearfund and run by Tearfund partners
