The Children of Africa Project has been running for two years now, here in Cape Town, South Africa.
We work within a lower income community called Sun City, in Sir Lowry's Pass, which is on the outskirts of the City of Cape Town. Our aim is to assist children and young people within this community by providing support and skills and training. At this time, we run an organic vegetable garden, a food security scheme that supports nutrition for children from difficult home backgrounds, and an educational support program that includes scholarships.
This Community has a long history of struggle and disadvantage. Their original African ancestors were forced off the land by Colonialism in Africa. Many of them also have Slaves as their ancestors. Under Apartheid, they were also disadvantaged and considered inferior, which means they had little access to economic resources and education.
Our work is to support this community to build a better life for their Children. I see it as a way that we can assist to return the balance to the Earth, by empowering these Young People to empower their communities.

We are in the process of registering as a Non-Profit Organization, both here and in Europe.
I will be posting the progress of our projects here on the web, so you are welcome to follow our project and see how your donations are being used.
This is a chance for us as Lightworkers to bring some Light into the lives of the Children of the Planet, especially those who live in Africa.
I look forward to working with you on this project.
Love and blessings
