Ilitha Care Centre is an example of a care centre involved in its own local community. The Centre was founded in 1995 in a township called Walmer Dunes, in the Nelson Mandela Metrapole, South Africa (S33 ° 55.538 E25° 36.096). The Walmer Dunes Township is situated on the outskirts of the city of Port Elizabeth's next to the main airport hub. This township is home to thousands of poor and underprivileged people with a low employment rate.

The Ilitha Care Centre was developed to help relieve the effects of poverty and provide support within this local community by providing child care and food distribution. The Centre todate provides support for over 20 children, aged 3 to 5 years old. Many of these children in the Centre are from homes where adequate nutrition and education is inadequate. IIitha Care is dependent on donations from local business and churches, as most of the children's parents cannot afford to financially support the Centre.
