Philani Nutrition Centre project |
PHILANI NUTRITION CENTERS Since 1992, under the direction of Dr. Ingrid Le Roux, it was created the Mayebuye Nutrition Rehabilitation Centre, a nutrition center and workshop for young mothers living in the township of Khayelitsha, on the outskirts of Cape Town. This community is-based in the informal settlements and operates of Khayelitsha, Crossroads, and Brown's Farm. The organisation serves a population of about 1/2 million people, many of whom originally came from the Eastern Cape in search of work and a livelihood in the more economically developed Western Cape. The women who participate in this program have HIV and attend rehabilitation programs in which they are trained to give their children a healthy nutrition and better care.

SAHETI SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS Two scholarships, of an annual nature, were created by World in Harmony, beginning in the academic year 2004 – 2005, at the “Saheti” School (South african & greek school). The Saheti School was established in Johannesburg in 1974. The motto of the Saheti School, KNOW THYSELF, founded in Ancient Greek thought, is the embodiment of its mission. Modern Greek language, literature, culture, dancing, history and philosophy form an integral part of the curriculum. We currently maintain a scholarship. |
