Tutela Family Care Secunda, formerly known as the Christelike Maatskaplike Raad (CMR) van Evander, was established in 1978 to address growing challenges within the community. On 13 November 2014, following an extensive consultative process, the organization underwent a rebranding that included a name and logo change, reflecting a refreshed identity.
The name “Tutela,” derived from Latin, embodies meanings such as protection, guardianship, safeguard, and defence—a fitting choice for an organization dedicated to caring for and safeguarding communities. Aligned with its vision of “caring for and protecting communities,” Tutela Secunda continues to deliver essential services under its inspiring slogan, “Caring brings hope.”
As a registered Non-Profit Organization (NPO) and Faith-Based Organization, Tutela Secunda plays a pivotal role in organizing, initiating, and coordinating service delivery across its network. All entities within the Tutela Group are non-profit and registered under the Non-Profit Organization Act 71 of 1997, with a shared mission of providing welfare services.
The organization’s services are designed to support and uplift children, families, older persons, and other vulnerable groups. Through a range of comprehensive family-oriented programs, Tutela empowers, protects, and preserves families, fostering resilience and well-being within communities.
The service points of Tutela Secunda extend to Adullam Mission Station, Holfontein, and Syferfontein, where the basic needs of communities are addressed with care and compassion.
Recognizing families as the cornerstone of society, Tutela Family Care Secunda is committed to nurturing and protecting them. Through family preservation programs, early intervention services, statutory services and aftercare services the organization builds resilient families, educated and empowered communities. Its ultimate goal is to foster optimal functioning families that contribute positively to a thriving society.
Tutela Secunda remains dedicated to its mission of “caring brings hope,” ensuring that individuals and families receive the support they need to overcome challenges and achieve their fullest potential. Stay tuned to meet our team and learn more about their invaluable contributions!
