Alex Outreach Centre was born out of that challenge, born out of a love for its children, youth, the aged and the sick. Crime, poverty, sickness, disease, unemployment needed to be dealt with from within primarily, but also from the outside, to alleviate the problems experienced. It is still a cry of Alex today. Our cry for assistance. Hence our appeal to you and the difference you can make.

Alex Outreach Centre started from a shack that soon became too small for the numbers of people. In 1998 we moved to larger premises in Marlboro, a 400m2 old decapitated building which also became too small, in the year 2000 Gerber Goldschmidt Group in Midrand, sympathetic to our work and the difference we were making in Alex, offered us their building of 1500m2 in Marlboro. Rent, water and electricity are free, a gesture will never forget and that we cherish, as it has allowed Alex Outreach Centre the spaces to not only accommodate our needs but allowed us the opportunity to become a multi-faceted Ministry, able to serve and address mode of the problems experienced in Alex.

Because of the high rate of unemployment the symptoms of these problems are evident. These areas become target areas: poverty, poor hygiene, poor diets, sickness, disease and crime. In dealing with these problems in Alex, our hearts cry for the children who are born without choices, subjected to the hardship that they have no control over. "Let the little children suffer not" became our motto, the driving force behind our vision. Alex Outreach Centre now has programs in place that have proved successful and efficient.
