 Project Gateway was established in 1992 as a social outreach of the churches in Pietermaritzburg. It aims to reach out to meet the needs of the poor and empower the disadvantaged.
Project Gateway is a church-based organisation governed by a set of core values and a statement of faith developed by the co-working churches. These values are intrinsic to the structure of the organisation and define how it is managed and governed on a day to day basis.
Project Gateway can not be separated, nor can it exist without the Church. The vision of Project Gateway thus exists to see churches mobilised in the areas of education and training, care and sustainable livelihoods, and to provide a model and resource base in these areas for the city of Pietermaritzburg and its surrounds.
Our mission is to:
Change people's lives by
Helping them physically, emotionally and spiritually. We aim to
Uplift people and their communities through job, business and life skills,
Reaching all people without prejudice, showing the
Compassion and care of Jesus Christ, and
Honouring our Creator
At present we have a number of projects running under our umbrella, all aimed at meeting the needs of the poor and empowering the disadvantaged.
 Project Gateway is overseen by an Executive Board consisting of individuals from a cross section of co-working churches as well as others with expertise in strategic areas. As an organisation, we are committed to the empowerment of people both within the organisation and those we serve. This commitment is evident in the composition of our Board, who are expected to give oversight, visionary input, prayer and leadership to the organisation as a whole as well as to the specific projects.
The Executive Board is assisted by a central management hub, known as CORE Support, consisting of administration, finance, human resources, donor marketing and public relations. In this way CORE's vision is to see a cohesive, multi-church, Kingdom based organisation using Biblical principles to improve people's quality of life by ensuring that all Project Gateway projects adhere to the vision of the organisation and to see the implementation of Executive Board decisions in these projects. Through the implementation of Executive Board decisions, CORE exists to see the outworking of the strategies of Project Gateway and the facilitation of this process through the projects involved, both locally and translocally. |
