South African Non-Profit Organisation
No person should ever be forgotten because they are poor. Together with volunteers, churches, schools and communities, we restore dignity through practical support across Southern Africa.
About Us
Founded by Melissa Ndoro and Connie Kotelo, Ceemel Healing Foundation was born from a shared belief that healing begins with compassion, dignity and practical action.
For many years Melissa volunteered in community feeding schemes while Connie worked with vulnerable families and children in disadvantaged communities. Together they witnessed the devastating effects of hunger, poverty, homelessness and neglect.
Rather than waiting for someone else to solve these problems, they established Ceemel Healing Foundation to restore hope, dignity and opportunity through practical humanitarian assistance.
