History of Oliver’s Village<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Oliver\u2019s House (also known as Oliver\u2019s Village) is a non-profit organisation operating from Benoni on the East Rand. Oliver\u2019s House was founded in April 2001.<\/p>\n

We started out running a soup kitchen in the Benoni CBD. In August of the same year, we took over the operations of Nomthandazo Children\u2019s Care Centre, who were based in the Zenzele informal settlement in Daveyton.<\/p>\n

In 2004 we purchased the old Benoni Home Affairs building at 73 Woburn Avenue and re-located to these premises. That same year we opened our education and computer training centre at our offices in Woburn Avenue.<\/p>\n

In 2006 we took the first step towards creating a socially self-sustaining project (Oliver\u2019s Village) when we purchased 11 acres of property in Putfontein, next to the Zenzele informal settlement. Since then we have moved all our operations to the village. Today we manage four social projects:<\/p>\n
