Masiphumelele Corporation and Trust
Welcome to our web site!
Thank you for taking an interest in us. Here you can find information about our work for the people of Masiphumelele.
Masiphumelele is a township, not far from Cape Town, South Africa, with about
38,000 residents, many very poor, most living in shacks, all coping with
the resultant economic and social deprivation and often difficult health
problems. Life is tough in Masiphumelele.
Fortunately, the people of Masiphumelele are equally tough – they are
determined to help themselves. They have a spirit of self-determination and
optimism that inspires us to help them.
Please take a look round our site – you will see many reports about the
people of Masiphumelele and how we try to help them to help themselves.
‘Masiphumelele’ – it’s the word in
Xhosa that translates to ‘we will succeed!’
