The Refilwe project logo.
'Refilwe' (''We're blessed'') is a
township near Lanseria Airport, north of
Johannesburg in
Gauteng Province,
South Africa. It was established in
1991 when Jean Stewart and Yvonne Jaques started primary health treatment in the corner of a small hall in the Drummond settlement, Lanseria. It was at this point that the Refilwe community project was born and has since grown into the current project attempting to address the diverse needs of the area surrounding the project.
The church of St. Michael and All Angels in Newton,
West Kirby,
Wirral,
England has an extensive link with the project and regularly sends parishioners to help with the project. The church's local school,
Calday Grange Grammar also has a link and has sent groups of students to the project for two week sessions from
29th June 2006 and
27th June 2007.
