Exciting Changes Ahead: Love Howick Rebrands as Love uMngeni to Amplify Community Impact
In a remarkable development for community upliftment efforts, Love Howick has officially rebranded to Love uMngeni, signaling a bold new chapter in its mission to support and empower all communities within the uMngeni Local Municipality. This change is more than just a name; it symbolizes the organization's expanded vision and commitment to inclusivity.
A Broader Commitment to Community
The rebranding to Love uMngeni reflects a commitment to a larger geographic scope, ensuring that every neighborhood's voice is heard and served. CEO Matt Hogarty expressed enthusiasm about the new identity, stating, “This rebranding is a vital step in formalising our commitment to these areas and better reflecting the comprehensive reach of our efforts.” With the new name, Love uMngeni is set to engage with a broader array of communities beyond Howick, embracing places like Mpophomeni, Hilton, and Lions River.
Continuity in Mission and Team
Despite the changes in branding and scope, Love uMngeni will remain steadfast in its original mission of fostering positive change through various initiatives. The dedicated team that has driven the success of Love Howick will continue to lead, ensuring that the quality and impact of its programs are maintained. This continuity is essential as the organization forges ahead into new areas, bolstering its efforts with existing partnerships and community support.
Collaborative Approach to Community Development
Importantly, Love uMngeni recognizes the critical role of partnerships in community development. While expanding its reach, it will not encroach on areas already served by long-standing partners like Love Notties in Nottingham Road, ensuring a collaborative approach. Additionally, Love Mpophomeni will be integrated into the Love uMngeni framework, leveraging resources and support for enhanced community benefits across the uMngeni region.
Get Involved and Make a Difference
This rebranding presents an exciting opportunity not only for the organization but also for community members who wish to contribute. Those looking to participate in this transformative journey can sign up to volunteer or make monthly donations through the Love uMngeni website. With this expansion, Love uMngeni is poised to create a more profound and lasting impact across the diverse communities it serves.
