Philangethemba is the isiZulu word for "Living through Hope" and this hope, based on a Christian faith is the basis of all of our endeavours.  Philangethemba was formed by a group of people within St Agnes Church, Kloof concerned about poverty and HIV/AIDS, who wanted to respond to the call expressed  in Luke 4:18-19 to be "good news to the poor". It now comprises the major activity within the Social Outreach Portfolio of the church. Our activities fall within 3 portfolios: 

• Education
• HIV/Aids  
• Income Generation

 Our funding is managed through the Philangethemba Trust, a non profit organisation under the umbrella of St Agnes church. If you would like to become involved in our activities by supporting our work financially please consult our Funding page.
