The organization is administered by the Comforter Ministries Board. There is a Management Board that meets twice a year.
Thandizani is currently undergoing an organizational development process. A new organizational structure with trained Management and Staff will lead to a more effectively run organization. Thandizani has been appointed by their partners and other organizations to collaborate and implement new programs in the Eastern Province. In addition there has also been demand from the communities to scale up the HIV/AIDS activities. A professional efficient Management Team and Staff with Procedures and Systems in place will result in Thandizani being in a position to meet these expectations and demands efficiently and effectively.
