OUR VISION
The rural communities of the Valley of 1,000 Hills (“the Valley”) live vibrant lives as full participants in a democratic South Africa.
The focus is on the communities of the Valley that are under tribal authorities, underserved in regard to public services and generally have low household incomes. The organisation will extend its activities beyond the Valley as long as that does not detract from the work within the Valley. The basic goal of the organisation is to activate (stimulate) and promote “agency” among the communities we work with. We define agency as the capacity of communities or community members to make their own decisions, do things for themselves and determine the course of their lives.
MISSION
To use health and other means to improve the lives of the communities of the Valley of 1,000 Hills.

Improve Knowledge of Health

Build Bridges for Service Delivery
