This Holiday Season Join our Sanitation Initiative!
4.5 billion people around the world do not have safely managed sanitation facilities and 2.3 billion people do not have basic sanitation services (WHO 2017).
About 80% of schools in Limpopo province rely on pit latrine toilets. The health risks of using pit toilets are huge. Young learners are susceptible of falling in and drowning due to the lack of proper seats. Diseases quickly spread and learners are often sick.

Thanks to our generous supporters we have reached our goal.
We raised enough for the construction of the centre and broke ground on July 2018. Since then, we have made significant progress. The sanitation buildings are complete and the outdoor classroom is also finished, with the first permaculture classes held in the fall of 2019. The construction of the main centre is underway and security cottage will be starting soon. The netting is finished for our permaculture gardens and we have been harvesting vegetables for our partner lodge, Thulani.
The core of our program is to provide water to underprivileged schools. When schools get a reliable source of fresh, clean water the health of students improves and economic development can begin.

Once schools have water, they can begin to cultivate gardens. We provide them with seeds and irrigation equipment, and school staff learn how to maximize resources through our permaculture program.
