EWET - Education With Enterprise Trust at http://www.ewet.org.za "A South
African nonprofit that enables poor communities through development
assistance for them to become the masters of their own destinies."
EWET's story begins in 1991 with a community fast becoming unable
to
support the employment needs of their growing number of school leavers.
Fewer than 10% are able to secure employment in the formal sector.
Initiated in the north-eastern Free State province in South Africa, in
Phuthaditjhaba - high country. Sheep and farming country where you drop
down through the Drakensberg mountains on your way to Kwa-Zulu Natal.
No heavy commerce or industry here. Just swirling morning mists and
clear mountain air.
"I just wanted to share with you that EWET's Web Site was selected by
UNESCO
to be amongst the TOP50 AFRICAN Web Sites for 1999. We are humbled by this
award and hope that it will help us to further extend our network of
Partnerships and Collaborative relationships for combating poverty."

cultivators; what is official policy on urban

cultivators, and who participates in and makes decisions
on the activity at household level."

increasing difficulties over recent years as a result of

legal and illegal, has grown as a consequence of the
difficult economic climate."
