Eluzukweni WM and Dorcas Services Projects was founded on 6 July 2022. The organisation emerged from a shared vision by five women of the Seventh Day Adventist Church to transform the community of Inkandla (in Joe Slovo West, Port Elizabeth). Nklandla is an area that is challenged by unemployment and crime. With a deep commitment to service, we began as a soup kitchen, providing nutritious meals to those in need. We have since expanded our mission to skills development, community gardening, and spiritual enrichment. We serve an average of 170 people per day, twice a week (covering the costs at R5 per person). We willingly absorb the costs in pursuit of our grater goal: restoring hope and dignity to the community members. We also run a community garden initiative that aims to reduce operational costs, ensuring sustainability and that will enable us to reach more communities in the future.

Oxfam is a global movement of people who share the belief that, in a world rich in resources, poverty isn't inevitable. It's an injustice which can, and must, be overcome. We're dedicated to building a just and safer world focusing on people's rights. We're passionate about ending poverty and helping to rebuild the lives affected by it. It's an enormous undertaking but we also have people on our side - talented and committed partners, volunteers, supporters and staff who share the same values. We aim to save lives by responding quickly with aid and protection during emergencies, empower people to work their own way out of poverty and campaign for lasting change. We have been saving and changing lives for seventy years now and know that tackling poverty is only possible when we are helping people to secure their fundamental human rights - the right to life and security, the right to a sustainable livelihood, the right to essential services, the right to be heard and the right to equity (in particular, the rights of women). We work at all levels - global and local, with international governments and global institutions, local communities and individuals - to make sure that these rights are protected and that the best solutions to people's suffering are implemented. Our values as an organisation are founded upon our experiences. We know that poverty can only be overcome once the fundamental human rights of impoverished others are secured and our three main values as an organisation - empowerment, accountability, inclusiveness - reflect this. Empowerment - our approach means that everyone involved with Oxfam, from our staff and supporters to people living in poverty, should feel they can make change happen. Accountability - our purpose driven, results-focused approach means we take responsibility for our actions and hold ourselves accountable; we believe that others should also be held accountable for their actions. Inclusiveness - we are open to everyone and embrace diversity; we believe everyone has a contribution to make, regardless of visible and invisible differences.
