Our Efforts in South Africa

Overview

South Africa, located at the southern most tip of the continent of Africa, has many things to offer the tourist.

Capetown is arguably one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with long white sand beaches, modern downtown and vibrant nightlife. Capetown also has penguins, which serve to remind you of how close you are to Antarctica, and how truly special and unique the ecology of this region is.

Geography and Population

South Africa lies at the southern end of the African continent, where the Atlantic and Indian oceans come together.

For a long time in the past centuries South Africa was governed by whites, although about 80 % of the population are blacks. In the 1990s the election of the first black president , Nelson Mandela opened a new chapter of South African history.

Social Problems

Juxtaposed against this unique and interesting background are some complicated social problems. HIV infects roughly two out of ten people in South Africa, but only 16% of the total population is covered by private healthcare.

The remaining 84% must use the public healthcare system which has chronic shortages of staff and supplies.

HIV/AIDS and Children

With HIV infection comes AIDS, and children who are orphaned when their parents have died from disease.  It is estimated that there are 1,200,000 orphans in South Africa.

Unfortunately, anti-retrovirus are not always easy to come by.  In 2009, a bit over 50% of children in need of anti-retro viral therapy were receiving it.

Forty-seven percent of the population of South Africa makes less than the national poverty level of $43 per month, and more than one third of the population occupies 13% of the land.In 2008 the richest 10% of people earned 58% of the total income.
