The organization was initiated and founded by Mrs. G.E Ntete with the goal of transforming the lives of children living in Townships of Port Elizabeth. It was established in November 2004 and was registered as an NPO 063-436 in September 2008/01. Over the past 10 years, Sisonke Sophumelela has built a good relationship with our OVC’s, schools, Donors, teachers, and community members. Sisonke Sophu
melela has been acknowledged for its programmatic and operational excellence by many respected institutions. Over the years the organization has managed to provide emotional, physical, spiritual and mental support and assistance to the children in our programme. Most of the orphans and vulnerable children we have, come from disadvantage background and have found a home and shelter in us; they have found a sense of belonging after experiencing poverty, domestic violence and all other abuses. All our children are at school and are doing well; we have received a positive feedback from the schools, guardians and the community. Sisonke Sophumelela has formed partnership with families, teachers and community members over the long-term to stabilise the home environment so that children are able to attend school and pursue academic careers. This partnership with our clients means that clients, together with their counsellor, identify appropriate interventions for themselves and their family members.
