Matjhabeng Rape Intervention Care Centre
In January 2014 Siyafunda Training and Development Trust (STDT), was commissioned by the National Development Agency (NDA) to conduct a close-out project evaluation of Carryyou Ministry Home and Orphan Base Care. Carryou Ministry was established in 2000 as a response to the needs of the Randfontein Greater Community. It was founded on the basis of providing care to the elderly, the sick as well as people living and affected with HIV/AIDS. The Ministry assists the volunteers by providing training on how to counsel and help those that are in need of such services. Their services also include the provision of feeding schemes to no less than 850 orphans located in their Drop Centres, namely Toekomsrus, Elandsvlei and Brandvlei. Same services are also extended to informal settlements as a poverty relief intervention. To execute these services the Ministry has a number of funders that are interlinked for the common purpose of alleviating poverty, job creation and income generation. The NDA was approached as an intervention to sustain the objectives of the Ministry by starting a bakery project component. The bakery project has created jobs and equally contributing in breaking the cycle of poverty that is ravaging the targeted community.
