Qolothani Makhosikazi Social and Cultural Services

Qolothani Makhosikazi Social and Cultural Services, is a Section 21 Company that is not for profit gains. In a nutshell Qolothani is a charity organization whose main focus is to provide charity services to the poor people of Mbekweni Township where its services are offered.  The main target groups are women and girl-children.   The sustainability of the organization and services it renders depend mainly on variety of fundraising activities.

Our organization’s area of focus is Mbekweni Township in Paarl in the Western Cape.  Mbekweni is a Blacks only establishment with a population of approximately 50 000.  The majority residents of this township are still very poor and live far beyond the acceptable standards of living.  Mbekweni Township is overcrowded the situation which subjects the inhabitants to severe squalid conditions.    In many households there is hardly a space for even an vegetable garden because every available space is used for building a shack which in turn is rented out to supplement whatever source of income is there if any for the households.

The plight of the poor people makes them vulnerable to diseases and malnutrition.  It gives them no space for a healthy life style and prevents any form of socio-economic development. This is exacerbated by a high level of unemployment which in turn translates into crime, poverty, early school leaving, teenage pregnancy, children-headed families, HIV and Aids to name a few. The average household income for those employed is R800.

Mbekweni area is also lacking behind in terms of economic and social empowerment projects. There is a need for such projects to address the social ills that erode individuals’ dignity and self -worth.

In a nutshell Qolothani Makhosikazi Social and Cultural Services projects aim at addressing some of the above-mentioned social – ills.

The organization’s vision:

It is to have a truly transformed society that upholds the values of ubuntu in caring for one another.

Mission statement:

Our mission is to make a difference in the lives of others who are less fortunate by availing ourselves and services expertise, time and energy.

This organization originated as an open invitation to women of all color to tackle the social ills of our societies head on and to form partnerships with all the like-minded organizations and interest groups.
