“you deserve a love that is a safe place for your soul”

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.”

so what do you do?

our Work

In the three primary areas of education, health and job creation, we take pains to ensure that our assistance is focused and effective, and serves as additional to the support that is constitutionally obligated by the South African Government. In all cases, we collaborate with whatever government officials, or other NGO organizations who might be able to assist.
Education
We focus on providing holistic support to children between the ages of 6 and 18 who lack motivation, guidance and financial ability.
Health
Our interventions are aimed at ensuring that families are educated and encouraged to improve their health, whilst we instigate practical solutions in the field of diet and health practices.
Job creation
Our flexible approach is based upon a practical assessment both of the needs and talents of individuals, as well as of the opportunities available. A basis of life skills and motivation is followed in order to ensure that individuals assume responsibility for their own advancement.
