Masibambisane Centre

The Elton John Masibambisane Centre for Orphaned and Vulnerable Children was established in 2003. The centre is situated in Eldorado Park and provides services to members of the community in Eldorado Park, as well as to the neighbouring informal settlements of Kliptown, Mandela Square and Slovo Park.

It provides psycho-social support, material assistance, homework supervision, life skills training as well as bereavement and general counselling to children aged between 2 and 18 years and their caregivers.

Community outreach programmes are facilitated at schools, churches and community based organisations and more recently, a programme has been started for people living with HIV/AIDS.

Masibambisane means ‘lets pull together’ in isiZulu.
