Common Good was founded in 2005 by Common Ground Church, and is an independent and registered non-profit organisation. Their vision is for a city where individuals and communities impacted by poverty and injustice are flourishing physically, spiritually, economically and socially.

Common Good’s triple-E strategy includes initiatives in Early Life (Sikunye), Education, and Employment. They believe that investing in these three areas is the greatest opportunity for positive change in our society.

Mokone is an under-resourced, non-fee-paying Primary School in Langa that Bosch has been involved with for a number of years as one of our justice ministry partnerships. Situated geographically close to Rondebosch, we see it as a wonderful opportunity to be involved. The school serves a large number of families living in challenging environments and our goals include building bridges between our communities and bringing the light and hope of Christ to the learners and staff. We also hope to help the learners achieve well academically so that they can look forward to a better future.

See below for our current serving opportunities at Mokone.

Bridges is a Retreat Centre and campsite located in the Franschhoek Valley. Bridges provides enriching educational camp experiences for children from under-resourced communities, to develop values and life skills that will positively impact the trajectory of their lives.

The Bridges Educational Programme facilitates memorable life experiences, which we believe have a lasting positive impact on the developing minds and hearts of the young people who attend, which will ultimately contribute to shaping a better future for our country, for generations to come.

Through sponsorship, Bridges offer fully-funded Grade 5, 6 and 7 camps to a growing network of primary schools, including Bonteheuwel, Fisantekraal, Gugulethu, Mitchells Plain, Elsies Rivier, Simondium and Wemmershoek. Learners experience a 3-day 2-night, action-packed programme, for 3 years in a row.

Our other partners include U-turn, The RESPOND Coalition and Rise Against Hunger.

U-turn was founded in 1997 and they are on a mission to equip people with skills to overcome homelessness because they believe God made every person intrinsically valuable and no one should have to sleep on the street. Click here to visit their website

The RESPOND Coalition was formed in 2012 to increase the effectiveness of the collaborative response of churches in the City of Cape Town and surrounds to large-scale disaster incidents. The coalition comprises a number of churches and Christian non-profit organisations with a commitment to responding to disaster incidents collaboratively. Click here to visit their website

We sell Mi-change vouchers from the involvement desk, after all three meetings, every Sunday.

Mi-change vouchers can make a change and are a ticket to a pathway out of homelessness. These vouchers offer access to food, clothing, a shower or a bed in a safe space at any of the Mi-change partnership organisations (including U-Turn).

Mi-change vouchers can be redeemed at a U-turn or MES Homeless Support Centre. You can purchase Mi-change vouchers and give them to anyone in need living on the streets and they can redeem the voucher at the closest service centre. The cost is R50 for a pack of 4 vouchers.
