Limpopo

General Inquiries

Limpopo Province is located in the northern region of South Africa; its natural topography is characterised by a semi-arid to tropical semi-arid terrain. Our main office is based in Polokwane the capital of the province. Polokwane which means the ‘place of safety’ as it exudes an environment which is always peaceful and accommodative. The province according to statistics in 2012 projected the 2^nd highest population of Older Persons in South Africa according to size and distribution. This further enhancing the need for such an organisation that caters for the needs of Older Persons and their well-being. The Province is also diverse as it consists of several ethnic groups which in some way strengthens the organisation with better understanding of different races and ways to assist individuals, families and communities in a Holistic Approach. We have 5 support groups and 6 volunteers.
