For 10 years, the SA College for Tourism has been training young, impoverished women from across southern Africa, giving them the skills, self-confidence and qualifications to successfully enter the tourism industry. In order to save funds and be more environmentally responsible, we want to 'green' our campus by replacing our solar panels and purchasing small appliances which are more power-efficient.
Caring for Special Needs children comes with many additional expenses and demands which means many orphanages simply can't cope. This initiative aims to provide support to the Ikhayalethemba Village orphanage which is home to around 10 children with special needs.

This project will help community members to start and sustain an early childhood education program for 60 vulnerable children in an area of rural South Africa devastated by the HIV epidemic and by the longstanding effects of racial segregation, unemployment, and poverty. The program will provide children with critical educational and emotional support, as well as hot meals and other essential services. Through relieving the burden of care, we also help older children return to school.
