Ethembeni started its maternal health programme in 2012 working from our Family Centre providing ante-natal classes as well as visiting local Howick and Mpophomeni clinics to offer support and advice to women there. Over the past 9 years, we have developed a passion for maternal and child health which has resulted in us providing services to over 450 mothers and their children every year.
In 2012 we formalised our Education Support programme providing much needed assistance to vulnerable children educationally as well as mentoring them. Our centre is a haven to these children, a place they can go to where they are assisted to become the best they can be despite difficulties they may experience at home.
