history
The diocese of Aliwal North and Bishop Michael Wüstenberg founded the Mt Carmel Youth and Conference Center in 2011 to develop the situation of poor economic and social development and limited prospects for children and young people to achieve equal opportunities.
The former farm buildings have been rebuilt into an environmentally friendly center of calm and comfort with facilities for education, social events and education of young people
Catholics.
Mt Carmel has been an NPO (Non-Profit Organization) since 2013. It is registered by a board of directors under the advice of the local ordinary of the Bishop of the Diocese of Aliwal North.
The center started in 2011 a first project circle of three years and some workshops on life skills training, health and education workshops and to facilitate training for caregivers
and implemented teachers on child protection and the common good.
