OUR STORY
Maitiso A Bagolo is a registered welfare organization with the Gauteng Department of Social Development, based within the community of Meadowlands. The Organizations establishment came about when five elderly women came together with an objective to:
1. Eradicate older person neglect and abuse.
2. Provide psychosocial support to orphaned and vulnerable children of Meadowlands.
It became formally registered as a Non-Profit organization on the 31st of July 2007.
To provide ongoing support in caring for orphaned and vulnerable children in their childhood development stages in order for them to grow and be self-sustainable and to promote protection, re-incorporation and avoid neglect of older persons in today's society.
