New Jerusalem was founded by Advocate Anna Mojapelo, a businesswoman and community developer and her sister Phina Mojapelo, a social worker with vast experience in working with children, youth and HIV/AIDS.
Both Anna and Phina remain actively involved in the Home, Anna as Chief Executive Officer and Phina as Chief Operating Officer. Today Anna and Phina are assisted by a staff of 35, comprising social workers, care givers, administrative staff, cleaners, gardeners and drivers. An active management committee and Board oversee all operations.
