Under the SL Programme, the hospital works towards uplifting the general living conditions in the catchment area. The programme operates from the Thandizani Resource Centre.

Using the Model Village Approach, rural communities are engaged in conservation agriculture and are empowered to develop sustainable sources of income. Examples of activities are agroforestry, beekeeping and honey production, solar fruit drying, soil and water conservation, riverbank protection and the development of small-scale irrigation schemes. These schemes are then used to produce cash-crops such as vegetables and chilli pepper. This has led to increased incomes in the area. Eight Model Villages have so far been targeted. In addition, reforestation is undertaken in various areas.
