Proposed Community Orphanage (future project)

From the outset, when we arrived at Suni-Ridge in 1990, we concerned ourselves with the rural people in our area, who are are mostly disadvantaged and very poor. Our first project was to establish a school for the Zulu children of the families who work on the farms in the area, which is now called False Bay School.



We also work in the rural area about 10 kilometers from us, where there are many aids orphans. Sadly there are young teenagers who have to take care of their younger siblings and their situation is often desperately difficult.

They do not have enough food at times; they go to their high school, and then return to run the home (Zulu huts), where they are responsible for the younger children and babies. There is a desperate need for a Zulu community orphanage in the area.

Please support Suni-Ridge so that we can help the Zulu community take care of their orphans? Take Action / How to Sponsor Suni-Ridge

Our Main Goals

In order to achieve our mission statement (see our first post), we've identified four main goals that we need to achieve:

1. Provide a Wildlife Sanctuary
2. Involve the Local Zulu Community
3. Young Environmental Ambassador's Leadership Course
4. Set up an orphanage for local Zulu children, most are HIV/AIDS orphans (FUTURE PROJECT)
5. Set up an orphanage for wildlife babies (FUTURE PROJECT)

Each of these goals covers different aspects of our daily life, and will be covered in detail on our website. A brief glimpse of the tasks ahead will follow shortly.
