In Zimbabwe/in South Africa
General information
18 different ROKPA projects are active
in Zimbabwe and South Africa. ROKPA has
invested a total of CHF 46’684 in these
projects.
Child Care Center Groot Marico, South Africa: The child
care center is located in a rural area of northwest
South Africa. In 2012 between 11 and 17 disadvantaged
children attended the child care center. There they
receive help, support, protection and food, which are the
goals of the project. In 2012 a small play area was
constructed in the garden so that the children can now
play outside. The center provides work for one to
two local employees, depending on the number of
participating children.
Food security Harare, Zimbabwe: In the highly populated
suburbs of Harare and Chitnugwiza, ROKPA supports
families with children with disabilities. In gardening
courses parents learn how to provide for themselves by
planting fruit and vegetables. The courses provide
knowledge about companion planting, pest and disease
control, soil enrichment and water storage methods.
Knowledge about healthy nutrition and preparing food
is also communicated. Last year 36 new families
attended the garden courses and received seeds to start
their own garden.
