Our Centennial Project for 2004 - 2005 is to provide assistance to the Frail Care Centre in Mamelodi (namely MASCA)

MASCA, is the home base where there are some 56 tenants that live there and are cared for.

MASCA, is very involved within the community, as far as visiting and doing various chores for the aged and frail; like cooking them meals in their own houses / rooms, cleaning their little rooms or houses, assisting them with sowing and general chores, taking them out for outings and to the Clinic or Hospital as needed.

The first project at MASCA, that's also our Centennial project to be handed over on the 23rd of February 2005, will be to provide covered walkways between the living area to the kitchen and dining area, so the old people can get there without getting wet:
