The Eldorado Park Women's Forum was established in the year 2000 by a group of community minded individuals, who saw the need for services to abused women and children, youth development, HIV/AIDS interventions and other community upliftment projects. The organization was registered in 2002 and received its tax exemption status (18A) in 2004. The organization is registered with SARS as a Public Benefit Organization.
At conception our focus was fighting gender-based violence in all its forms. Under our Healing the Hurt project a Shelter was established to provide victims of abuse with a safe haven. Later the Little Rascals Pre-School & Crèche project was implemented for Early Childhood Development, Impact Development Academy a project dedicated to the development of youth, a Skills Development project and the Seeds of Promise project (HIV/AIDS). The later provides home based care to terminally ill AIDS sufferers, cancer and stroke patients, Adherence (treatment) counselling as well as support to infected and affected families or individuals in the community. Subsequently a Feeding Scheme under our Home Based Care program the Seeds of Promise project was implemented to cater for orphans and vulnerable children. The Forum also runs an agricultural project as a form of income generation and sustainability.
