Genesis Care Centre

The vision of Genesis was born out of the Norwegian Settlers Church in 2002. The mission being to take "the church" out of the four walls of the building into a hurting local community, where HIV/Aids infected and affect people living in rural suburbs surrounding the church became our starting point.

Local hospitals were constantly experiencing a shortage of beds and the need for a step-down/hospice facility to accommodate these patients was obvious. Through the generosity of individuals, the contribution of land from the church and registered board of trustees, the first twenty-bed ward of the Genesis Care Centre was established in March 2005. A second twenty-bed ward and office block was opened in May 2007. A voluntary counselling and testing service was also begun at the Care Centre.
