The Indlovu Project is the design of a community building in Monwabisi Park Khayelitsha, Cape Province, South Africa. 

The Indlovu Project was established in 2005 and is supported by the The Shaster Foundation for Community Development . Entirely community driven to satisfy community needs, it forms the heart of the Monwabisi Park informal settlement. Before being destroyed by a fire in November 2008, the Indlovu Centre included a Montessori pre-primary school, a medical clinic, a youth centre, a guest house, a community learning centre, a laundry, a soup kitchen and a vegetable growing initiative. AWF was introduced to this project by the Planet Wheeler Foundation in January 2009, and two AWF volunteers traveled to Cape Town to consult with the community on site. As a result AWF has been asked to provide pro-bono services for the rebuilding of the Community Centre.

 

AWF are currently in discussion with the Shaster foundation regarding becoming involved in a further stage of works consisting of a water and sanitation block.
