Reachout To Africa is
focused on the development of resilience building and
educational services and facilities in Southern Africa.
We provide spiritual, logistical and financial support
to vulnerable children and young adults who want to
develop themselves and their communities. We do this by
building financial support from individuals, churches,
corporations and governments. We manage ourselves in all
areas according to generally accepted accounting
standards and practices.
The whole
African continent is experiencing capacity
shrinkage. The two main reasons for this are the
Brain Drain and the AIDS pandemic. Africans are
emigrating at an alarming rate. Combined with those
who are incapacitated by AIDS, there is actually a
more acute need for capacity building today, than
ever before. Key professions like teaching, nursing
and engineering are being depleted. This is having a
knock-on effect when it comes to the social
services. Governments in particular have to re-think
their roles in terms of service delivery. More than
they might have liked simply has to be devolved to
people and groups at the grass roots. This is the
order of the day, and another consequence is that
Africa will need significant numbers of
collaborators/Volunteers from overseas to shore up its sagging
social services. These volunteers need to come with
attitudes that allow them to transfer know-how to
those they work with; this mode of learning is one
that Reachout To Africa is using more and more.....
Have you ever
considered sponsoring a young youth leader in Southern
Africa to help them achieve their educational goals. To

“I learned
that courage was not the absence of fear, but the
triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not
feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
Reachout To Africa is inviting those people interested
in traveling to South Africa in November/December
