Who We Are
We strive towards a society seen through a child’s eyes, where communities are empowered, prosperous, healthy, informed, and critically thoughtful and are growing with vitality and sustainability. Our existence and our purpose is shaped by this vision. The Eastern Cape – a region with an abundance of natural resources, institutions of higher learning, an industrial base, and a cohesive community structure – has enormous assets that can be applied to delivering positive social change to our most vulnerable neighbors.
Our province has contributed significantly to South Africa’s successful overthrow of colonial and apartheid rule. Our rich history – as the bedrock of the resistance movement and a place where the 100-year-old African National Congress has its strongest base – offers a unique region for a development reawakening. Led by a desire to embody the values and many accomplishments of the past,Eastern Cape communities are striving to address significant challenges in key areas such as health and education. Masibumbane Development Organization (MDO) was established to support these community efforts to improve their collective well-being.
