MES Johannesburg

MES started in 1986 as a street work and people centred outreach programme from the JHB East Dutch Reformed Church. Programmes were organised to bring relief through food security programmes, and outreach programmes where youth were mobilised to bring service to the community. During the past 24 years the organisation has grown to address various poverty related challenges faced by the poor and homeless community of the inner city in a holistic way. Today, services focus on Poverty alleviation, spiritual and community enrichment; Education and skills development; and Professional health and social work services.

The expansion of MES was started from the Johannesburg branch which is currently also acting as the National office providing support to the other developing branches through our centralised business support units consisting of Human resources, Finances and PR & Resource development.
