Description
About
Prochorus Community Development is a registered non-profit community-based organisation in Kayamandi, Stellenbosch (founded in 1996). They aim to “take care of the poor” by offering sustainable development programmes that address spiritual, intellectual, physical, social and emotional needs. They partner with local churches and other stakeholders to maximise volunteer involvement, ensure accountability, and meet specific community needs.
