Our Mission

Missionvale USA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for the poor and underprivileged of South Africa. This organization supports the efforts of the Missionvale Care Center in Port Elizabeth, South Africa to provide hope and a positive future through sustainable programs focused on education, nutrition, healthcare, skills development, and shelter.

Hope for the New Year

December 1 – December 31, 2024

Campaign Goal = $25,000

Nearing year’s end, we reflect on the hope and resilience that keep us moving forward, no matter the challenges. At Missionvale, this hope shines in every meal shared, every child educated, and every family supported.

Your contributions are what make this possible.

Throughout the month of December we are asking for your help with our Hope for the New Year campaign with a deep appreciation knowing that together, we can ensure that the work we do continues into the year ahead.

Feeding the hungry, educating children, empowering the Missionvale community, and providing vital healthcare was Sr. Ethel’s passion. She dedicated her whole life to lifting others up with dignity and hope. 

And now, your generosity can help continue this important work. Thanks to two of our generous supporters, the first $10,000 raised will be matched dollar for dollar!

Every gift you give will have double the impact, providing twice as much hope to those who need it most.

Let’s come together to make the new year brighter for the Missionvale community.

Our Causes

The need is so great in the Missionvale Township. Missionvale USA has focused its efforts around fundraising for the most fundamental and critical needs of education, nutrition, and health care.

While our fundraising campaigns center within these categories, we also work hard to secure general funding that the Care Center can use to operate any of their programs and services and meet the needs of the people.

“To every donor who has contributed via Missionvale USA – thank you for entrusting your funds to us. Every cent is stretched to its maximum capacity, and directly impacts a life here in Missinovale.

Thank you for remembering the people here. Every day we take time to remember you also. Some we know by name, and some of you we have not met, but you are in our hearts and committed in our thanksgiving prayers always.”

“Your donations, for me, make you like our angels on our road forward because every donation that is sent to the Care Center is making everything so much easier for us. So thank you very, very much for your donations and the beautiful things you are doing to help the Care Center.
