SOUTH AFRICA ENDOWMENT
Established with funds from Heifer International.
Despite the fact that South Africa is considered a predominantly or middle-income country, daunting problems remain from the apartheid era, including high unemployment and areas of great poverty. The country, while rich in many natural resources, has its environmental challenges, especially the need for extensive water conservation and control measures. Also, a 2003 estimate suggests that 21.5 % of the adult population is infected with AIDS, a figure with its own daunting ramifications.
Heifer's work in South Africa includes almost 20 current projects using gifts of sheep, hens, goats, dairy cattle and more, all toward the same end: creating self-reliant farmers, families and communities.
