Our Partners
Hillcrest Methodist Church
The church that feels like home, where you are welcomed as family.
At Hillcrest Methodist Church we believe everyone needs the hope Jesus offers, so our passion is to embrace all people so that they may find that hope and grow in a relationship with Him. We emphasise grace and acceptance, yet we’re equally passionate about serving, as we help people understand who Jesus is and how to take the next step in their journey of faith.
We are a community where space is created for everyone. Our desire is that you may be welcomed as family, where you’ll be known personally, and you’ll be made to feel at home. Whether you are a first-time visitor or long-standing member, you will be welcomed with love and warmth to our church family.
Sharing the Love of Jesus
We feel strongly that we are called to make an impact in our community. Through serving our community we discover more about ourselves and how He is growing us while He uses us to meet the needs of others. We learn best by doing. We know that God’s kingdom is being established on earth and we are called to help build that kingdom in tangible ways. We know too that our spiritual growth lies in our ability to care for others in need.
Why Siyakhula Sonke…
Hillcrest Aids Centre
Providing unconditional love and hope to all those impacted by HIV/AIDS…
Founded in 1990, the Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust (HACT) is dedicated to saving and transforming lives. As one of the first NGO’s in South Africa to respond to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, HACT has established a reputation for making a significant and meaningful impact in the lives of people impacted by the disease.
Our Vision
Our vision is an AIDS-free South Africa, and all our projects work towards this dream.
HACT’s Values are:
Passion: To serve with passion, energy and commitment, always acknowledging the privilege it is to be helping others.
Faith: Seeking to do as Jesus would do: “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” NIV John 13: 34-35.
Integrity: The message and the messenger must be the same, we must practice what we preach and be honest in all things.
‘Ubuntu’: ‘I am because you are’ – being community driven and constantly aware that our actions impact on those around us, and that the sum is always better than the parts.
Empowerment: Helping people to take ownership over their lives.

Diakonia Council of Churches
What we do
The core business of the Diakonia Council of Churches (DCofC) is the pursuit of justice: meaning an improved quality of life for the poor, as well as changes in attitudes and structures which perpetuate injustice. This is fundamental to our identity as an organisation.
The churches have a unique contribution to make to the struggle against injustice and poverty. Our core practice of process facilitation enables and equips the churches for the task of making this unique contribution.
Our Vision
A transformed society actively working for social justice.
Our Mission
In partnership with our member churches and organisations we are inspired by our Christian faith to play a transformative role enabling people to take responsibility for their lives and to promote prophetic action on social justice
Where we work
We work in the area covered by the eThekwini Municipality centred around Durban, on the coast of the province of KwaZulu-Natal, in South Africa.
This is a place of great contrasts: city centre, suburbs, townships, informal settlements and rural areas; extreme poverty alongside conspicuous wealth; people of every race, language and creed.
While a great deal has been achieved in the two decades of democracy in South Africa, many challenges remain. In spite of the houses built, the water and electricity provided, and the growing black middle class, unemployment, poverty, inequality, environmental degradation, gender-based violence and slow economic growth have made it difficult to make much difference to the situation that existed under apartheid. Illiteracy and insufficient skills development prevent people from finding jobs or starting their own businesses. The HIV and AIDS pandemic are taking a massive toll on our people. These challenges are exacerbated by corruption.
Faced with such a situation, we believe that churches are life-affirming communities, where people are empowered by their faith to overcome the despair around them. Churches have a unique contribution to make to the struggle against injustice. Our task is to facilitate a process in and through the churches for the task of making this unique contribution. For it is clearly not God’s will that we should suffer the injustice that is present in much of the country today.
SAVEact
Founded in Pietermaritzburg in 2005, SaveAct facilitates the formation of savings groups in rural communities as a tool to fight poverty, effectively increasing food security, building assets and empowering the community.
SaveAct has over 70,000 individual members in four provinces in South Africa, and it works with a network of committed partner organisations.
Its programme aims to promote financial inclusion by incorporating:
- Financial education and life skills training. These promote good money management and enhance confidence and motivation.
- Savings groups. These are a platform for stimulating saving and developing social networks.
- Enterprise development. This enables members to find sound ways to re-invest savings in income generation.
- An economic ecosystem. Technology is used to bring other financial services, information and digital systems to members.
The Valley Trust
The Valley Trust, popularly known as TVT, is a registered non-profit charitable Trust, registered as such under the laws of South Africa and it is based in Durban, South Africa. It was founded by Dr. Halley Stott and registered as a welfare organisation in 1953. TVT is providing a number of community development interventions which fall under two major programs; Health Communications Program and Valley Youth Opportunity Program in Qadi, Embo, KwaNgcolosi, Molweni, Lower Molweni, Maphephetheni and KwaXimba.
The Valley Trust had 10 savings groups which have been facilitated by SaveAct, but with the reorganisation of SaveAct the field officer serving these could no longer be operational. These 10 groups have been taken over by Siyakhula Sonke Trust. TVT has in turn, undertaken to provide support and educational training to members of Savings and Credit Groups run by SKS on HIV and AIDS, nutrition and food gardens.
