About This Cause
Mount Olive Outreach (MOO) is a NPO (Non-Profit Organization) registered with the Department of Social Development under the laws of South Africa. MOO exists to benefit Orphans, Vulnerable Children and Youth (OVCY), Older Persons, Children in Early Childhood development (ECD) and Victim Support in the impoverished community of Lehae and Thembelihle, South of Johannesburg, South Africa. With a clear strategy, MOO can measurably define and quantify the services it provides and thereby have a better chance of improving the future of our community, which ultimately contributes to improved livelihoods of children, youth, and broader citizens of South Africa. Through the Home-Based Care Programme that started in 2003, over 800 children have been identified, along with their families, all of whom Mount Olive has begun working with. These are children, who have been orphaned and are vulnerable mainly due to HIV/AIDS in Lehae and surrounding informal settlements. Citizens in these areas are poverty stricken with a high rate of unemployment, substance abuse and domestic violence. Mount Olive Outreach has chosen to intervene by establishing a Child and Youth Development Centre – the centre came to be known as the Khaya Centre (meaning “home” in isiZulu). The Centre acts as a day care centre which provides children with basic needs such as sustenance, preschool education (early child development) and psycho-social support. Children receive services to meet their physical, emotional and social needs. Khaya Centre and its two satellite centres in Nokeng (Operating from Olifantsvlei primary school in Eikenhof) and Khaya Lethemba (Operating in Thembelihle) have been initiated by Mount Olive Outreach, under the supervision of a Project Director assisted by an Administrator, Care Givers and Supervisors to run the projects. The Centre is currently running from: Stand No 2824 Primrose Drive, Lehae South of Johannesburg and has grown to incorporate numerous projects that were developed as the need arose.
