CharitySA.co.za - Christian Clinic t/a Refilwe Community Project

FOCUS AREA:
Refilwe means "gift" or "to give" in Tswana and has its origins in a vision given by God to Jean Stewart and Yvonne Jaques. In April 1991 they started a clinic on a small site next to the Lanseria Airport, North of Johannesburg. From this grew a wider ministry to the needy people of the area that today focuses on spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ, by addressing critical needs in the following areas:
- Medical;
- Child Care / Education;
- Life and specific skills training;
- Income generating activities;

Refilwe serves a severely disadvantaged community and HIV & Aids, limited education, unemployment, lack of skills & poor housing are just some of the challenges that these individuals have to deal with.

Much emphasis is placed on ensuring that the affairs of Refilwe are managed according to the best principles of sound and good governance. Its statutory position is that of a Non-Profit and Public Benefit Organisation status in terms of current legislation. A Board of Directors and an Executive Committee govern the affairs of the organization. The Executive Director (Jaco van Schalkwyk) is responsible for the day to day management and implementation of policies.

WE NEED:
See wish list on website - we also need more people to get involved in serving those in need.
