Nelspruit Community Forum

Nelspruit Community Forum

NCF was established in 2004 in response to the many people living on and from the streets of Nelspruit. Included are men and women, boys and girls, black and white, educated and not educated. Many faith communities and businesses were busy caring for these “jewels” in different ways. Knowing that a collective and central service point will benefit the society in broad; NCF started operations.

Our Vision

Our Vision is to be a highly effective, specialised people-caring organisation, facilitating the participation of all relevant stakeholders in the community, based on Christian principles and teaching.

Our Mission

Our mission is to demonstrate the heart of God by providing meaningful interventions amongst the marginalised and destitute, assisting them to become functional members of society.
