The project was started in 1989 by a group of individuals interested in making Mseleni a better place to live. A variety of things have been done:

• Block making
• Toilet construction
• Tractors
• Gardens
• Water systems
• Building supplies
• Library
• Small business development
• Youth AIDS action
• Community Hall
• Market place
• Computer centre
• Road construction
• Bursaries for health care students

The big issue at present is the lack of job opportunities for school leavers.
