“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give”
Winston Churchill
what’s the story?
the then and now
“It has always been a dream of ours to work amongst the rural communities in South Africa. My wife and I have spent time traveling through the country and found that the communities isolated and far removed from the towns are often the most neglected. ⠀
Rural Reach began at the end of 2017 to meet those communities’ needs. It may not be big, it may not even grow to be an international organization, but we’d like to do our part to make a difference. No matter how small it may be…
We believe in having a personal approach where we can form close relationships with members of the community. By focusing on a smaller group of people, we can fully invest ourselves and have a lasting impact in the community as opposed to a “blanket” approach where we try to reach as many people as possible.
Ultimately, we love what we do and seeing the impact our projects have is truly the driving force behind this organization.”
– Migail de Klerk, Founder and Managing Director of Rural Reach
