Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page! We are travelling to South Africa to work with Tear Fund partner Ethembeni for the second half of March 2018.

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 hope-filled families free from the brokenness of HIV and TB.

We are covering the costs of this trip ourselves, but would like to give our family, friends, work colleagues & local church community the opportunity to join with us. Donations received via this page will all go directly to HIV/AIDS projects such as Ethembeni supported by Tearfund and run by Tearfund partners.
