Our Mission & Vision
TOGETHER FOR TRANSFORMATION
Our mission is to bring people TOGETHER FOR TRANSFORMATION in our city.
Our vision is to build a platform for partnerships between key sectors of our local community to see our vision of a prosperous city emerge. These partnerships will include church, family, government, education, business, media & the arts all working together to better our environment, improve the well-being of people and ensure that we create a positive future for our children’s children.
BRING BACK THE TEAM IN RED TO CLEAN OUR STREETS!
At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, our Love Howick Renoverge Project was dealt a death-blow when its funding through the Youth Empowerment Services (YES) was withdrawn with immediate effect. This means the dynamic & motivated ‘team in red’ that you used to see on the streets cutting verges, planting gardens, managing waste and ensuring our town remains beautiful, all but disappeared overnight.
As an organisation we have tried to re-direct the limited resources we have from local donors & loyal supporters, who generously support our various other programs, but unfortunately this has left us severely understaffed and under resourced. We simply cannot keep doing what we have been doing without Howick’s support.
We would love each household to consider a donation of R50 per month to the Love Howick Renoverge Team so we can ensure our town stays in tip top shape. Please see bank details and Zapper QR Code below, use reference RENOVERGE, for all donations. Why not consider a monthly stop-order on your account to ‘BRING BACK THE TEAM IN RED’?
As the state of our town continues a downward trend, Love Howick is more convinced than ever that WE, THE CITIZENS are the solution. While the local authorities need to be held accountable for their ineffectiveness, and there are various bodies/structures set aside to do this (ward committees, rate payers associations, our democratic voting power etc.), we can’t sit back and do nothing. We challenge each business/each household to make a small contribution that if done en masse will bring lasting change. Please contact info@lovehowick.com if you would like to offer your time, skills or services to clean up Howick. We are also looking for donations of wheelbarrows, garden tools & gloves, a reliable bakkie to transport machinery & refuse, and lots of willing hearts to get behind this initiative.
TOGETHER WE CAN!

Thank You Unite SA for your heart for Uniting South Africa and highlighting the hard work so many NPO's do for their communities in our beautiful country.
Go give them a like and follow their page to show your support for what they are doing here in South Africa. The more exposure and reach NPO's like us can get, the more we can do for our communities.
#lovehowick #PositiveMediaMovement #unitesaToday we highlight an amazing organization doing great things for the Howick, KZN community!
Khulekani Ndlovu heard about the Love Howick Dream Centre and decided to take the Job Readiness course. “Before I went to the Dream Centre, I had no self-esteem, and I did not believe that I could do anything. I now believe that I can do the things I have in my mind. The Dream Centre also helped me to get a job. I wouldn’t be employed if Dream Centre wasn’t there.”
Over the course of the month, over 50 students completed Love Howick Dream Centre courses and 3 new businesses have been started, with 9 students being employed by local businesses.
Love Howick Dream Centre has been instrumental in teaching many people like Khulekani important skills and knowledge, and thereafter connecting them with employment opportunities. Using the ‘Work for a Living’ programme, the Dream Centre runs various training programmes aimed at addressing the barriers to entering the job market, as well as overcoming the skills deficit present in our labour force.
Through lectures, role-playing, assignments and mentorships, this programme has a proven track record around South Africa of producing employable adults who have strong work ethic and a passion for excellence, integrity and commitment in the workplace.

PORTRAITS OF COURAGE
Meet Nontando Mabele, a 20 year old living in Estcourt but I now live in Howick west. The Dream Centre really helped me become who I am today. Before I attended the Dream Centre courses, I didn't know how to look for a job, what was expected in an interview, do's and don'ts in an interview, or the importance of professionalism and excellence. My life was miserable and I had no direction. But now, using the tools the Dream Centre gave me, I have a job. I excel in everything because I understand the importance of hard work and going the extra mile. I'm honoured because I honour my boss. Thanks to Dream Centre for helping me realise my potential, for helping me take ownership of my life and make a success out of it.
You can be part of the change in our community, helping alleviate poverty and unemployment BY sponsoring a student to attend one of our courses and give them a hope for a prosperous future. Email info@lovehowick now for more info on how to get involved!
