Philakahle Wellbeing Centre was founded in 2003 after an existing program, the World Vision Child Survival Project, came to the end of its funding cycle. It is a Section 21 Company, Registration Number 2003/025540/08.
A collection of local community leaders joined together to continue this locally valued work. Since that time, the organization has furthered and expanded its initial projects, through the contributions of a variety of international and South African funders, to offer a variety of needed programs in Okhahlamba Municipality.
Philakahle targets youth, women, children and those facing extreme poverty in order to improve their living standards and unlock their individual and collective potential.
It is a well-managed organization, governed by the board of directors, and Philakahle’s finances are audited yearly.
