Piloting new development initiatives by using internal and external knowledge and resources, building the capacity of communities to respond to their own needs sustainably, and
facilitating networks and partnership.

Like many successful organisations through the ages Mfesane started with absolutely nothing apart from a vision. The first initiatives were taken in the homelands of the Transkei and Ciskei with its huge concentration of human need at the height of apartheid. As the political situation started to change Mfesane realised that the urban areas will become very important with an influx of people from the rural areas to the cities. The overall message of Mfesane remains what its motto says: Christianity in Action.
