Cancer in South Africa. We raise money through the art form of

greatest. We have run several vaccination programmes, but there
are so many girls to reach. Every woman is at risk, no matter

be vaccinated. We believe that through awareness, education and
prevention we can make a significant difference. Cervical cancer
is the most common cause of cancer death in woman in South Africa! |

GlenBridge Special School, a government school catering for children with special needs (eg. Down Syndrome, Foetal Alcohol Syndrome, and other conditions of mental handicap). GlenBridge Special School provides the learners with various academic, music and sporting programs, as well as occupational therapy on a limited scale. GlenBridge is unable to provide the much-needed prerequisites of physiotherapy and speech therapy. Teaching equipment needs to be updated. Our building and its surrounds require regular maintenance. Our school buses are sorely in need of being upgraded, bearing in mind that the safety of our special kids is a priority. Each class needs to be relatively small, with the teacher requiring full-time assistance to ensure that the children are constantly monitored. Many of our children are compromised to the extent of requiring medication, whether it be for seizures or other neurodevelopmental complications. There are some children with hearing difficulty and various other physical disability.

The
Masihlule Project was born out of a concern for
poor people who scavenge through wealthier households rubbish
bags that are put on the streets outside their houses for
collection by the local Municipality. The project is based
at the Municipal Landfill site in Grahamstown, South Africa
and started with 4 Sorters in 2008. This figure is growing
with the project aiming to take unemployed people who are
scavenging on the Landfill site and giving them an opportunity
to create a consistent income through recycling waste.
The Sorters collect glass, metal, card, paper and plastic
and these items are weighed. They are paid according to
the weight of the materials they have collected or processed. They
crush the glass, bale the cardboard and paper and shred
the plastic in big machines. These items are then
sold to businesses for use in manufacturing. The project
has grown considerably since inception and there are now
19 sorters collecting and processing recyclables at the
Landfill site. Collaboration and support from our
partners has allowed the project to purchase machinery
and to build storage facilities. With sustainability crucial,
the aim is that the project people form a co-operative
which will eventually take over the running of a viable
business. |
