A word from the Chairperson
“We were all born withsomething very special —meant to make the worlda better place.”
It is heart-warming to welcome you to The Upper Room Men. We hope you will learn from the men in this house, just as we will learn from you. Each of us has something to offer — a contribution toward a warm, safe, peaceful and productive world for our generations to come.
The Upper Room Men is a non-profit fellowship formed in 2015 by men from different provinces of South Africa who are passionate about the Gospel of Christ. We serve God with our talents, gifts, knowledge and wisdom — creating a space where men walk together in life's journey, with Christ as our foundation.

The ripple effect
When one man grows, his entire family benefits. When 200+ men commit to being Christ-centred, responsible and accountable, the impact multiplies across communities. Our members return to their homes, workplaces and neighbourhoods equipped to make a positive difference.
How we work
We collaborate with local communities, volunteers and donors to make a meaningful impact on people's lives — supporting education, healthcare and those in need, and standing with families through disaster relief.
Proving our impact
We are committed to transparency and accountability. TURM's work is evidence-based, and we continually strengthen our impact by working alongside organisations that share our vision — partners like Cornerstone Zion Church.
"What started as a small group of passionate men has become a movement impacting families, communities and lives across the nation."
