WHAT WE DO

we assist communities in the following areas:

THE FOCUS AREA

Umzimkhulu is a town located in the Harry Gwala District Municipality of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. The district is largely rural, and the economy is driven by agriculture, mining, and forestry. In Umzimkhulu, the main agricultural activities are livestock farming, crop farming, and horticulture. The town is also known for its traditional crafts, such as pottery and beadwork.

Despite the area’s natural resources and economic potential, there are various socio-economic challenges faced by the people of Umzimkhulu. These challenges include high levels of poverty, unemployment, and inequality. The lack of economic opportunities and limited access to basic services like education, healthcare, and housing are significant contributing factors to these challenges.

Umzimkhulu, like many other rural areas in South Africa, has also been impacted by issues such as HIV/AIDS, gender-based violence, and crime. Efforts are being made by the government and various organizations to address these issues, but there is still much work to be done to improve the socio-economic conditions of the area.

Ukuphila Life is committed to uplifting Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) in the Lourdes area of Umzimkhulu. Through our dedicated project, we provide essential support to 900 children and 360 adults, addressing their immediate needs and fostering empowerment. Additionally, we engage in a range of initiatives to create a more inclusive and compassionate society, addressing the challenges faced by vulnerable individuals in our community.

Efforts are being made by various organizations to address these issues, but there is still much work to be done to improve the living conditions in this area. We at Ukuphila Life, are contributing to this on a daily basis and have long-term interest in developing the people here through empowerment.
