Mthente and its staff members are providing financial sponsorship for the Valhalla Park Library’s Reading Competition for Grade 7 Learners, which takes place on 28 July 2010. In addition, one of Mthente's researchers will be on the panel of judges. The District4 Reading Competition for Grade7 learners originated in 2003 at Valhalla Park Library. In 2009, District4 presented a joint competition involving all 15 libraries in the respective district, which was a great success with exceptional results.

As part of an initiative sponsored by Tracker and Metro FM, Mthente hosted two learners for a day of workplace experience on 25 March 2010. The primary objective of the project is to help raise responsible young men through introducing them to role models, career guidance, mentoring, life skills development and moral regeneration. Their day involved job shadowing each of Mthente’s researchers and consultants, assisting with one of Mthente’s socio-economic surveys and meeting with Mthente’s directors.

Following a successful food drive for Ons Plek in April 2009, Mthente planned a beach braai in October 2009 for 30 children who are currently staying at Ons Plek. Ons Plek is a residential safe house that is the only intake shelter for girl street children in Cape Town. Ons Plek offers 24-hour accommodation, counselling and education at its Albertus Street shelter, while also aiming to reunify the girls with their families. Founded in 1988, Ons Plek helps an average of 150 new girls each year.

Mthente has initiated a relationship with Ons Plek Projects, a residential safe house that is the only intake shelter for girl street children in Cape Town. Ons Plek offers 24-hour accommodation, counselling and education at its Albertus Street shelter, while also aiming to reunify the girls with their families. The Project also provides a second phase of treatment at Siviwe in Woodstock, where girls are able to make the transition to a more structured life and begin building their lives. Founded in 1988, Ons Plek helps an average of 150 new girls each year. Based on a list of needs provided by the directors at Ons Plek, Mthente’s staff members purchased and delivered a week’s worth of groceries to the Shelter on 3 April 2009.

Beehyv Arts is a community-based design craft house that was founded by Sandile B. Kula in April 2005. Like many emerging entrepreneurs, Sandile has faced his share of challenges in trying to achieve his dream of establishing a thriving design house that offers unique cross sector African designs, while also uplifting the community. One of his biggest challenges has been finding financial backing and business coaching support... which is where Mthente has been able to lend a hand.

On 10 December 2008, Mthente provided gifts for the orphans and vulnerable children who are looked after by the Abigail Women’s Movement. Mthente staff members attended the Movement’s annual Christmas party and enjoyed spending time with the children and passing out the gifts. Abigail Women’s Movement has been serving the community of Khayelitsha for almost 10 years, providing food parcels, skills programmes and care for orphans and vulnerable children, as well as old and frail residents.

In August 2008, Mthente’s managing director facilitated a workshop for Africa Unite at no cost to the NGO. Africa Unite is a community-based, non-governmental organisation that aims to promote human rights, and empower young adults from diverse cultural, social and economic backgrounds. The workshop aimed at helping the organisation develop its fundraising strategy. Mthente then wrote up the minutes from the workshop and developed these into a plan for the NGO.

In May 2008, Mthente responded to the outbreak in xenophobic violence by donating time and resources to the refugee relief efforts in Cape Town. Staff members donated money and Mthente matched their donations, raising a total of close to R5,000. As requested by the relief organisers, Mthente staff purchased the most urgently needed items and delivered them to the collection centre in town.
