Emthonjeni Wokuphila Community Development Center

What we do:
At present EWCDC is giving Christian holistic care for around 80 OVC’s at the
Center and 37 in the field. Besides daily meals and a safe place to play we help
them with their homework as part of the after school program. Every child has its
own file with all available information, and we are now developing individual care
plans for all the children. We provide in basic health care, spiritual care and
psycho-social support for OVC’s and their families. For all these tasks we got
involvement of local people and other stakeholders like churches, government and
schools. EWCDC is a community based project and led by a board of 9 local
members represented by 5 local churches.

We believe that during the last 10 years EWCDC has been improved, with hard
work and giving compassionated personal care for our beneficiaries and has made
an impact in their lives. Besides that we aim to advocate for justice to all who
cannot speak for themselves.
