MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF SIZWE DEVELOPMENT CENTRE

MR PS NAPIER
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Sizwe development centre continues to serve the interest of the Poor and Vulnerable in the affected areas where people have lost their dignity because of the situation or circumstances they find themselves in.
We become the conduit for the people by connecting hands with each other, helping to shape and better the lifestyles lived under extreme and difficult conditions because of the harshness of poverty and unemployment.
People did not choose to live this way nor did they choose to die this way.
We reach out and assist in every way manageable or acceptable that helps to better the lives of those who see effective change ahead through the programmes that Sizwe Development Centre offers on a daily basis impacting and transforming people.
We offer hope to the hopeless
Dignity to the dignified
We are all people of different ethnic backgrounds and through our organization we do things in the Spirit of Ubutho and Batho Pele.
