Alleviating poverty and restoring dignity in vulnerable communities across Johannesburg — meeting urgent needs today while building sustainable pathways out of poverty.
Registered Non-Profit Organisation · NPO 096-966
Power-House Meals on Wheels is a registered non-profit organization committed to alleviating poverty and improving the quality of life for vulnerable communities in Johannesburg. Through targeted interventions, we address food insecurity, unemployment, substance abuse, and lack of access to education and essential services.
We do not simply meet needs — we restore dignity, rebuild hope, and create sustainable pathways out of poverty. Our work is guided by strong leadership, accountability, and a commitment to sustainable community development.
To build empowered, self-reliant communities where every individual has access to basic needs, opportunities, and a life of dignity.
To alleviate poverty and uplift vulnerable communities by providing essential resources and empowering individuals with the skills and support needed to achieve independence and long-term sustainability.
We operate in areas severely affected by poverty, unemployment, substance abuse, and limited access to education.
Cooked and uncooked food provided to individuals and families in need, through our soup kitchen and food distribution.
Clothing for all ages and genders — warm jackets for winter, blankets, sanitary pads, linens, shoes and more.
Counselling, health awareness campaigns and social support services for individuals facing life challenges.
Empowerment programmes including sewing, soap making, music and acting lessons that build income-generating skills.
Stationery and uniforms provided for primary and secondary school pupils, so learners can attend and focus in class.
Every service restores dignity and creates a sustainable pathway out of poverty.
Across the communities of Bertrams, Bez Valley, Yeoville, and Kensington — and nearby informal settlements — many individuals face daily hardship.
Real change requires both immediate support and long-term solutions.
We respond to urgent needs right away.
We create sustainable, lasting change.
One of our most impactful initiatives, the Sewing Skills Development Project empowers participants with practical, income-generating skills — moving beneficiaries from dependency to self-reliance and transforming not only their own lives but their communities.
Every meal served, every skill taught, and every life touched is a step toward breaking the cycle of poverty.
We also collaborate with shelters and community organizations to extend our reach and maximize impact.
Your support is more than a contribution — it is an investment in human potential.
We are seeking funding to expand our programmes, increase our impact, and continue transforming lives. Each contribution directly supports life-changing interventions within our communities.
Donations are given to beneficiaries according to the nature of their needs — for example, stationery is given to pupils — so resources are never misused. We also run fundraising initiatives to sustain our work.
Donated goods and handmade items from our skills programme are sold, funding sewing kits, food, sanitary pads and stationery.
Our music students showcase their talents while raising funds for the organisation's programmes.
Our acting students showcase their talents on stage, raising funds and building confidence and skills.
Every plate served carries hope and dignity into our community.
There are still many waiting for a meal, for an opportunity, for hope. By supporting Power-House Meals on Wheels, you are not just funding a programme — you are changing lives, restoring dignity, and building stronger communities. Together, we can break the cycle of poverty.
