Focus Areas
We support registered community based and/or non-governmental organisations that are registered as public benefit organisations, with SARS (South African Revenue Services). Organisations need to benefit communities within the 50km of Kimberley- which includes the towns of Galeshewe, Barkley West, Ritchie, Windsorton, Pniel and Platfontein.
The Trustees have identified the following key focus areas which are in alignment with Trust Deed activities. After several community engagements and research, four focus areas have been identified:
- Community-based nutrition programmes for vulnerable groups including children and elderly people.
- School-based initiatives focused on health (eye care, oral hygiene, hearing, etc) in partnership with companies.
- Initiatives that support young people to develop positive life skills, including a focus on substance dependence and gendered violence amongst young people.
- Enterprise Development support targeting young people, that links into a value chain for the supply of food products for community-based nutrition programmes.
- Tertiary Education and Skills Development support for young people including possible bursaries, internships, etc.
Over and above this, the Trustees will also consider projects and programmes that fall within the following areas:
- Welfare and Humanitarian
- Healthcare
- Education and Development
- Enterprise Development
