Serving churches in Cape Town, South Africa

The Warehouse works with local churches in rich and poor communities by helping them implement sound, effective practical acts and renewed attitudes that change the lives of the poor, restore dignity and build meaningful relationships. This is explored through five strategic pillars, namely prayer, mobilisation, equipping, advocating and innovation. In this way communities are helped to face the painful wounds in South Africa through orphan care, tackling high-risk youth and gangsterism, unemployment, redistribution of resources, as well as training and development in community work and social transformation

Opening a door to dignity

Nomsa* is one of the unsung heroes of Cape Town that we at The Warehouse are privileged to know and serve. Nomsa is a seventy year-old grandmother, who despite her hardship has risen up and counted the cost of being obedient to God and serving her loved ones. Her first daughter died of HIV/Aids related illness and her grandchildren were left in her care a few years ago. Struggling to deal with her daughter's death, she also had the arduous task of helping her grandchildren cope with their grief. In addition to dealing with this trauma, extra strain was put on her already sparse income as a pensioner.
