Usizo Thuso Community Care Centre

Usizo Thuso is a farming Community Care Centre situated in Ennerdale, south of Johannesburg. The NGO is largely focused on education and agriculture.

They run an afterschool program for the youth living in the area providing them with facilities to search for jobs and assistance in gaining employment. The younger children go to the center to do homework where a mentorship program is in place to provide guidance with any issues they may be facing at school or at home.

Usizo Thuso grows its own crops for the community on the farm, which is on the same site as the after-school program. The farm consists of approximately 250 acres; however not all of the available space is used due to a lack of physical resources.

RADA has been supporting this farming project since the end of 2018 as part of the RADA Feeding Project under RADA CARE. Food parcels are given out to the children to take home every month. RADA has also provided the center with clothing, blankets, books and a farming plough which was purchased for them by RADA.

It is RADA’s aim to assess and assist Usizo Thuso Community Care Centre where possible with the support of corporate and individual sponsors.
