Missionvale Animal Care Centre

Missionvale is a shantytown on the outskirts of Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa. It is crippled by poverty, disease, drought, and hunger.

The Missionvale Care Centre is a non-profit organization operating in the midst of this.

We are in a transitional phase moving away from a traditional welfare approach, and embracing a more developmental and transformative tactic in our activities, as there is a goldmine of potential within this community!

Our Centre was founded by the late world-renowned humanitarian, Sister Ethel Normoyle, in 1988.

Today we offer the following services: Education, Community development,Skills Development, Health & well-being, Youth Development AND Basic Domestic Animal Care

Our Basic Domestic Animal Care initiative has become a vital resource for the many impoverished people in the area who have animals and are not able to take care of them.

Heading up this arm of the Care Centre is Sister Annie van der Merwe – her compassion knows no end and she alone has been responsible for starting what has become a lifeline for the many pet owners in the Missionvale area.

Our Needs for this new arm of the Missionvale Centre are many :

The Basic Domestic Animal Care is in need of animal food (dogs & cats), shampoos, dip, anti-flea and tick treatment, old towels and blankets as well as funding to pay for sterilisations, vaccines, drips and other medical care at the vet.

We will be hosting a major fundraiser for this on the 12^th of August in conjunction with Pam Golding Properties - there are still one or two tables left. Please support this worthy cause!
