Who we are
Family Care Ministries is a non profit organization established for the sole purpose of alleviating poverty in all its forms. The organization is aligned to the legislative principles of the South African NPO ACT 71 of 1997. Our programmes are focused on the development mandate of the South African National Development Plan and the Sustainable Development goals.
Over the years, Family Care Ministries has grown and transcended into more focused development programmes intended for national footprint and impact.
Family Care Ministries was originally established in Gauteng. We have over 20 years of community development work experience. Our organisation was formed in response to the extreme levels of poverty and hunger in Orange Farm. Initially our activities were focused on feeding, clothing donations and spiritual recreational outreach, but as the organisation progressed it grew to expand into other poverty alleviation initiatives like education and training Our initiatives have been recently further developed into more focused areas through which the organisation could make more tangible impact to society.

Why we do it
Members of Family Care Ministries seek to meet the needs of the entire person, not merely the body and its environment. We have found that the effects of the faith and love we impart to those we reach out to far surpass the aid to their physical needs only; it heals their hearts, their memories, their souls, their past and their future. While we try to provide the means to meet the physical needs, we believe that to truly change the world we must change hearts.
We do this so we may impart love on people and whilst inspiring them to show love to others. We are paying it forward through charitable and loving deeds.
