Huis Betlehem
The Heart of MPU lies in the Lowveld, Nelspruit. This is where it all began and all though, our presence has expanded nationally, we will always stay true to our roots and support and develop our local community as much as possible.
Huis Betlehem opened its doors in 2000 to children who had to be removed from their family homes because of trauma or family conflict.
Huis Betlehem offers children a place of safety according to the Children's Act 805, 2005. They have two houses, one in White River and another in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga, which host up to 8 children each under the supervision of a Social Worker, and their House parents. These House parents provide an environment for these children to be loved and cared for during this traumatic and unsettling time of their lives.
Since this is a non-profit organisation and is mainly funded through the child welfare and the department of social welfare, they are often in desperate need of funds and or contributions of all sorts for the children and the house itself.
MPU Group is a proud sponsor to the many needs of these houses and will continue to support this local initiative as much as possible.
