Who we are
The organisation has a strong focus on restoring joy, dignity and fulfillment to the lives of the elderly who are lonely and are largely ignored by society.
This is achieved through various mechanisms such as, community social events, outings, group activities etc.
OUR WORK
We work to bring hope, peace, pride and joy into the lives of the elderly – who are usually lonely, abused, socially isolated and often times left destitute in our society.
We have numerous programmes that run on a weekly basis. Any and all donations are welcome as they enable us to do more for the communities we serve
Our Causes
We have various causes aimed at alleviating the myriad of challenges the elderly face on a daily basis. Below are just some of the things we do to help
Health and Fitness
The elderly members we work with are encouraged to have a healthy and active lifestyle. We help them to achieve this through our health and fitness programmes which include:
- Gym at a local community facility
- Sports, including soccer, netball
- Park walks
Thanks to our sponsors – Groeneweide Gym
Empowerment & Councilling
The elderly face unique challenges as they are usually retired, with limited income and limited support to cater for life’s daily challenges. T.S.O helps the elderly in this regard through various mechanisms which include:
- Financial education
- Counseling
- Motivational talks
- Emotional support
- Bible Studies
Social Events
The elderly usually have limited opportunities to socialize or just to have a good time with their peers.
We hold various functions that enable the much needed socialising and fun events. Included are the following:
- Day for the Elderly
- T.S.O Launch
We change the life of Those
who are marginalised
