A Decade Of Commitment to South Africa
Project People Foundation launched its economic and humanitarian programs in 1995 with the goal of making a lasting difference in the lives of South African children and women who faced the bitter legacy of apartheid. For the children it was the gift of black dolls --- for their mothers it was the gift of work. From these initial projects, PPF has grown to encompass programs and partnerships that continue to make a positive difference in promoting economic empowerment for women in South African townships and facilitating access to education for black South African children.
