Vision & Mission
Our vision: creating hope and development opportunities to build healthy, responsible and self-sustaining communities.
For the past 30 years Ndlovu Care Group offered Health Care Services and Community
Development with a holistic approach in the Sekhukhune District of Limpopo as a not for profit
organisation. Ndlovu Care Group works with communities to design and implement innovative,
evidence-based solutions and programmes through an integrated approach addressing;
healthcare, child and youth needs, WASH, infrastructure support and research for improved
cohesive community development.
How the journey started
Six days after the first free elections in 1994, Liesje and Hugo Tempelman took the big step to start the construction of the Ndlovu Medical Centre in the middle of Elandsdoorn, a township in Moutse.
Moutse is a region in the Sekhukhune District of the Limpopo Province, comprising approximately 27 villages with a total population of between 120 000 – 130 000. Residing under the Bantwane Tribal Authority, most inhabitants are Northern-Sotho speaking. Medical infrastructure was minimal: two poorly equipped public health care clinics managed by brave professional nurses, and not a single medical doctor working in the area.
It was the start of a long and exciting journey that would lead to the development and implementation of an integrated, holistic model of community development.
Healthcare
Medical Care with approach of assessible, affordable quality for prevention rather than treatment of compromised conditions
Child & Youth Development Programmes
Childcare programmes focus on supporting young people in their physical, mental, social and cultural development
WASH
Sustainable access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene belongs to physiological needs and is one of the essential issues
Infrastructure Support
Ensure not only the homes of child-headed households are safe and secure also including construction/maintenance of all organisational infrastructure
Research
The Ndlovu Research Consortium is the backbone of various disciplines involving epidemiology, infectious diseases, social sciences, virology and immunology

Disability
Disability promotion is a major issue in the work of the Ndlovu Care Group. Mentally and physically handicapped children are often not integrated into society, often they do not even receive adequate medical care, and the vulnerability of these children is even greater. Early detection of disabilities is essential to ensure that children are effectively treated and rehabilitated. Unfortunately, however, disabilities are often detected quite late in the children's lives. To prevent these children from degenerating through neglect, however, is possible through effective intervention. The Ndlovu Care Group has set itself this goal.
