About
About Tshedimosetso Community Development And Other Projects
Tshedimosetso Community Development And Other Projects is a registered NPO based in Hammanskraal, north of Pretoria in the City of Tshwane municipality. The organisation operates from the Tshedimosetso Community Centre at 984B Marokolong, Hammanskraal — a community characterised by high unemployment, poor infrastructure, and significant social needs, including elevated rates of gender-based violence and domestic abuse.
"Tshedimosetso" means "development" in Setswana, and the organisation lives up to its name by addressing a wide spectrum of community needs from a single, accessible community centre.
Services Relevant to GBV
- Gender-Based Violence awareness and support — community education, survivor support, and referrals to specialist GBV services are central to the organisation's mandate. The organisation engages directly with survivors in the community and links them to appropriate care and legal pathways.
- Victim empowerment — practical assistance and psychosocial support for individuals and families affected by crime and violence.
- Home-based care — support for vulnerable and housebound community members, including those affected by HIV/AIDS and chronic illness, a population at elevated risk of experiencing or witnessing GBV.
Other Community Services
- Early Childhood Development (ECD) — services for young children in a community where access to quality ECD remains limited.
- Youth development programmes — life skills and developmental support for young people in Marokolong and surrounding areas.
- Social relief — basic material assistance and referrals for families in acute need.
Community Context
Hammanskraal and the wider Temba/Marokolong area sit in the northern reaches of Tshwane — geographically close to Pretoria but largely cut off from the city's resources by distance, poor public transport, and limited government service delivery. Organisations like Tshedimosetso fill a critical gap in a part of Gauteng that is often overlooked in urban-centric GBV service mapping.
