A Centre For Health Promotion
OUR APPROACH
Our approach is motivated by a desire to ensure that our organisation is responsive to changes in the environment within which it operates, and that it is relevant to the present-day needs of the communities it serves.
In a rigorous process that invited input from staff, community stakeholders and partners, the organisation re-affirmed its commitment to a focus on working with the communities of the tribal areas of the Valley of a Thousand Hills and greater Ethekwini.
Our Vision
“Our vision is to see the communities of the Valley of a Thousand Hills living healthy and active lives as full participants in a democratic South Africa.”
Where we work
Through raising funds and effectively mobilising resources we build the capacity of local communities to sustainably ensure their own good health.
