Nathan Brown
Finance / Administrative Officer

Good day to you all, My name is Nathan Brown and I’ve been living in the community Mandela Terrace for the past 13 years, where I was living with my mother, brothers and sisters. During these years it has been very challenging due to the whole garrison settings, but then came 3Cs, the organization that help me to be where I am today. I am proud to be the Finance & Admin Officer for 3Cs. They are the one who has molded me into the person I am today, which is a responsible young man. I stared out as a member of the youth activities seven years ago and grew with the project. I consider myself a true success story and a testimony of 3Cs’ work.
