Philani
 South Africa  |  Community/Family

Committed to the protection of the rights of every child to proper nutrition and healthcare in communities where malnourished children and destitute mothers are most vulnerable.

The Philani Child Health & Nutrition Project is a community-based non-governmental organization (NGO), operating in the informal settlements of Khayelitsha, Crossroads, Brown's Farm, Mfuleni, Nyanga and Delft on the outskirts of Cape Town. We aim to help mothers to help themselves. By working with mothers, educating them in the basics of nutrition and health, providing them with skills training and giving them an opportunity to earn a living they ensure not only the health and wellbeing of their children and themselves, but of their community. Philani works in close cooperation with the government's health care system and as a support structure to state clinics. Our sustainability over the decades has been due largely to our grassroots, people-centred approach, working closely with the communities we serve, as well as our organic approach to growth.
