The organisation works collectively and collaboratively in the targeted previously disadvantaged and isolated communities in the peri-urban and outlying rural areas of Sedgefield. These communities display inequitable patterns of ownership, wealth and social and economic practices. We find a divide between the Sedgefield sophisticated urban settlement and the formal and informal settlements, in which the majority of the population is located, away from infrastructure services and employment opportunities.

Challenges facing the communities include high rates of unemployment, poor housing, high crime rate, poor infrastructure, no public transport, an increasing HIV/AIDS prevalence, gender inequality, gender based violence, teen pregnancies and alcohol abuse.
