Here at PHELIRIDGE,
We are a Non Profit Company which
was established in 2022. Its name is
derived from 2 names which are,
Phelindaba and Atteridgeville.
‘Phelindaba’ is associated with
the history of the area and ‘ridge’
in Pheliridge is borrowed from Atteridgeville.
The name Phelindaba means the place of Action,
where all talk must end and more Action takes place.
Our facility is strategically placed within the
previously disadvantaged area west of Pretoria, Atteridgeville.
This area is no stranger to major social economic challenges
such as the high unemployment rate,
Crime, loitering shortage of skills,
shortage of facilities and demotivated young people.
As members of the community growing up facing challenges of Youth
unemployment and after doing a needs analysis,
PHELIRIDGE has therefore challenged ourselves as
an organization, to not only talk about what we
wish to do for our community and broader Gauteng,
but we have committed ourselves to decisive
action that will benefit the Community starting
with Atteridgeville. Through our skills and
development programs we are able to communicate with the
community and share with them, the knowledge and also the guidance to
ultimately alleviate poverty as well as minimize crime.
