OUR STORY
Ikhayalethemba Community Care Centre is a registered non-profit organisation based in KwaMbonambi, Nzalabantu. It was established in 2006 in response to a high number of orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs) due to HIV and AIDS pandemic.
Due to high levels of unemployment and poverty, Ikhayalethemba (“Home of Hope” in isiZulu) soon realised that other members of the households it was servicing were in need of other service and ended up offering a basket of social service in wards 3,4,5,6,14 & 15 of Umfolozi Municipality
