Sibusiswe Creche

A group of Grade 12 boys from Crawford College, La Lucia, Durban, led by Bradley Alport, Miguel Rodriguez and Jarryd Fisher, gave up their July holidays to assist Rev. Jeremiah Zondi in building a new baby room at Sibusiswe Creche in KwaMashu. They are now looking for donations of cement and roofing materials, proving what a great job they did on the digging of the foundations and the actual construction work.

Nevil Carrington


We are delighted to welcome Nevil Carrington in his new role as General Manager/CEO of I Care. He has assisted us in the past and brings with him a wealth of management experience. The Board of Trustees have given Nevil a mandate to extend the I Care model to other provinces and to secure the funding necessary for such expansion. This expansion is necessary to address the huge need that exists within the community and the enormous problems that have been caused by the breakdown of the family unit.
