Dedicated programs targeted at building both our beneficiaries & the community children physically, mentally, & emotionally.

"It Takes A Village To Raise A Child"

- African Proverb

Here at J29 Community Care we strongly believe in the the African Proverb “It takes a village to raise a child”, so we have partnered with members of the Katlehong Community to help them raise 281 of their orphaned & vulnerable children by contributing both physically and financially to their physical, social, emotional, & educational needs.

“Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.”

- Nelson Mandela

We also partner with Chivirikani Primary School in Sonwabo with educational programs that assist some of their poorest students to excel before entering high school. We have a Kwikspace and container inside their property.

Sponsor A Gogo

We currently support 20 Gogo's in the community who raise, feed, and love many of the Orphans in our care. Our goal every month is to provide the resources and support they need.


With your assistance, we can take in even more Orphans & Vulnerable Children and assist our Gogo's with monthly food parcels, clothing, stationary, blankets, and any other needs the children may encounter.

SPONSOR A GOGO

Growth For The Future

One of the main aims of J29 is placing orphan children into a home with a Gogo & child headed homes into the care of an elder caregiver. Our goal is to give all our beneficiaries a sense of a loving home, family and community.


Because our Gogo’s & volunteers raise these orphans & vulnerable children as their own family, we come alongside them in support and assistance in all the areas listed above so that they in turn can grow into loving, secure & contributing members of their communities.


We still have many gaps in our program areas that we would like to facilitate in the future (such as learnership & skills development programs), so your contribution will not only strengthen our existing programs to facilitate the expansion of our reach, but will also help us secure the future of beneficiaries placed in our care.
