HISTORY AND BACKGROUND Crystal Fountain was founded in 1999 with the primary aim of aiding the homeless and individuals with terminal illnesses linked to HIV/AIDS pandemic in Soweto. In 2008, recognizing additional community needs, the organization expanded its mission by launching the Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) affected / infected with HIV/AIDS. Crystal Fountain addresses various social, cultural, religious, and economic challenges within the community. Located at 2651 Magabe Street, Hlalefang Primary School, Pimville Zone 2, Soweto. Crystal Fountain is an essential force in these endeavours. Officially registered as a Non Profit Organization (NPO) with the Department of Social Development in 20 July 2006, Crystal Fountain heavily relies on the support of dedicated funders and partners, whose contributions are crucial to the success of its initiatives.
