Ilingelethu Service Centre: Middledrift Eastern Cape

Ilingelethu which means “It’s ours”. This non-profit organization was formed in 2007 by elderly citizens in Middledrift. Their aim was to support other elderly citizens in the area, as well as provide a place of connection. With a small initial contribution of R50 by members a healthy weekly meal was set in motion. These elderly citizens participate in a variety of activities together – including Golden Games and sewing projects. Motheo’s initial engagement began in 2018 with a monthly financial contribution towards groceries, this allowed the elderly to meet together five days a week. Motheo assisted in other smaller ways, including obtaining sewing off cuts for craft work. Motheo was also able to support the community through the process of obtaining a grant from Social Development. Later we assisted the community with a Lottery grant for food and centre running costs. Motheo continues to assist the community – our most notable contribution being that the community now has their own piece of ground – thanks to Motheo’s support, it is fenced and a gate has been installed. Motheo is in the process of assisting the community with the building of the Centre.
