Our Story

The Pregnancy Resource- Choices for Life is a registered non-profit organization that was established 28 years ago for the benefit for the poor and vulnerable, children, youth and pregnant mothers in Amanzimtoti are surrounding communities. All of our beneficiaries are unable to afford any private medical care and counselling, and due to the social ills that accompany poverty-stricken areas such as Bhekulwandle, where limited resources are available for proper sexual health guidance and support to youth in schools. Many teenage mothers have dropped out of school to take care of their babies and with limited education, are unable to find employment and earn an income to support themselves and their babies. to break the cycle of poverty, we provide holistic, comprehensive prevention and intervention programs to children and youth, as well as the single mothers and single fathers through counselling, material and emotional support. Daily we see cases of r**e and abuse, HIV/Aids and abandonment of babies. We provide various channels to the poor and vulnerable to access social and health services and ensure that they are provided with the resources required to improve their quality of life.

Vision: To empower the community so they may be able to make informed choices on sexual integrity and related matters.

Mission: To educate and support the community through focused prevention and intervention activities. The intervention programs provides counselling and psycho-social support for youth, women and families to create a safe environment for those who may face a crisis pregnancy, to be supported through counselling with the aim at family reunification and restorative services. To further extend on our impact in the schools and communities, we aim to grow our team and include a mobile unit that will provide ultrasound, foetal heartbeat monitoring and counselling mothers and parents who have limited access to counselling services. We aim to see healthy, happy families with decreased mortality of mothers and babies, as well as a decrease in teenage pregnancy and HIV and STD infections. Our prevention programs is a sexual integrity program aimed at the youth. We aim to provide community-based services to families pertaining to sexual integrity and pregnancy related issues.
