Transcript of Nourish presentation
Nourish
Nourish is a registered non profit organisation started over 3 years ago which has been doing upliftment projects throughout Mpumalanga and Limpopo.
Projects are focused on being holistic and assisting both the earth and the community- giving people and companies a chance to “give back”.
Nourish is all about involving communities in their own upliftment and encouraging active engagement, education and entrepreneurship!
• Nourish focuses on 3 AREAS of operation:
GREEN KIDZ COMMUNITY/
ORPHAN SUPPORT
TRASH 2 TREASURE
Green Kidz
• Environmental Education in the classroom, through weekly EE engagement and classes ( currently at 7 different primary schools in and around Acornhoek region)
• Conservation based field trips for groups of “green kids” to experience immersion learning in a natural and fun environment
• Dress 4 Success school uniform initiative- to provide identified children (orphans and vulnerable children ) with school uniforms in order to assist them to stay in school
• Kick it for Conservation soccer tournaments
Community & Orphan Support
Involvement in the community is done through our donations support, Secret Santa project and other projects at not only Ekurhuleni Center for Orphans, but also Rolle Orphan Center, and Khutsong Old Age home. We also work alongside various creches and vulnerable families to assist with clothes/food/ garden donations etc. when we can .
Trash 2 Treasure
Trash 2 Treasure is a recycled crafting initiative that focuses on sustainable entrepreneurship opportunities for women/grannies and men in rural communities to learn skills, and make a livelihood from utilising waste to create beautiful crafts and art. These are then marketed internationally and to the local market, to assist in bringing funds back into the community. A positive by-product of this is that recycling happens at a grassroot level in order to collect “crafting supplies”
