|  Poverty and inequality are amongst the most severe human rights concerns in South Africa. Many people are still without access to food, shelter, jobs and health care services. Continued and unacceptable levels of poverty, as well as growing inequality, have made South Africa one of the world’s leading societies of contrast. Poverty currently affects 40% of the population of South Africa.
In addition to fighting poverty, South Africa is experiencing the largest HIV and AIDS epidemic in the world. Figures for 2008 state that an estimated 5.6 million South Africans are HIV positive. Almost 25% of all South African children under the age of 15 have lost at least one parent to AIDS. T.B. is rife and child-headed households are on the increase.
It is within this climate that Project Gateway aims to bring hope and an improved quality of life to people in and around the city of Pietermaritzburg. We have a number of projects devoted to helping the poorest of the poor:
 Duduza
Esther House
Ethembeni
Pregnancy Care Centre
Sunset Overnight Shelter
