FRIENDS WITHOUT BORDERS
Mount Edgecombe
NPO Reg: 172 916
Our History
Over 15 years ago a small group of ex residents of Mount Edgecombe decided to host the elders from Mount Edgecombe and surrounding areas.

This initiative was to honour our elders who toiled in the sugar cane fields and the sugar mill. Despite the many challenges, our forebears excelled in the field of sports such as soccer, arts and culture, music and importantly had the foresight to build educational institutions such as Natest Primary School.

Our gratitude to our forebears is so immense that we cannot thank them enough.
Our Mission
Adopt schools in need for targeted interventions
Organise events for the elderly on an ad-hoc basis
Establish and secure a fully functional centre for the elderly
Our Vision
Is to have a fully-fledged and capacitated NPO focusing on education and the elderly with its own Centre for the elderly and become nationally and internationally recognised and funded.
Our Values
Our core values are to serve the communities: with honesty, integrity and humility and by adhering to sound corporate governance principles that includes total financial transparency.
