As many of you are aware IAHV frst received its United Nations NGO status through its incorporation in Geneva in 1997. IAHV is in consultative status with the Economic, Social and Cultural Council (ECOSOC) of theUnited Nations (UN), and participates in a variety of committees and activities, related to health and conflict resolution.

Set forward by the United Nations (UN) in 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS) are a collection of 17 global goals aimed at improving the planet and the quality of human life around the world. The call-to-action for people worldwide is to address the critical areas of importance by 2030: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnership.

IAHV SA will begin the process of aligning all its project and programs to meet the above goals. In the coming months we will reect this on our website and project proposals, categorising all our programs & projects accordingly.

Siyaphambili Day Care and Pre-school donation

This is an annual feeding scheme project at the Lerato Educational Centre in Jackson Drift, Eikenhof South of Johannesburg, which has now changed to Siyaphambili Day Care and Pre-school.

Due to the Covid 19 pandemic and financial constrains there are only 150 children with a total of 22 teachers. The school depends on donations and veggies received and cooks daily on the premises for the children.

Volunteers from the Art of Living in Lenasia sponsored groceries and vegetables and was dropped off today in conjunction to celebrate Gurudev’s Birthday at the school. A total of 300 masks was also donated.

A warm and hearty Thank you to all for your generous sponsorship and support of the groceries & vegetables. Through your donation we have once again been able to accomplish our Feeding Project and are extremely grateful!
