Philani Maternal, Child Health and Nutrition Trust

Philani’s vision is a South Africa where pregnancy is safe and where every child can grow up healthy and well-nourished to fulfil his or her physical and mental potential.
We are committed to providing a caring and supportive community-based service where families’ and mothers’ health are protected and they are empowered to raise healthy, well-nourished children. Our mission is also to care for people with chronic diseases and those that are bed-ridden.

Our approach to the many issues affecting maternal and child health is holistic and includes creating a stimulating environment for children to learn and play as well as providing skills development for income generation so that mothers may become economically independent.
