NOURISH SOUTH AFRICA
Growing Resilience in Wildlife Communities: through cradle-to-career life and livelihood improvements that create pathways out of poverty.
ABOUT
NOURISH SOUTH AFRICA
Nourish is a nonprofit organization registered with the Department of Social Development in South Africa dedicated to reducing poverty and building resilience in rural communities bordering wildlife reserves.
To build flourishing, connected communities where people and nature thrive together.
Through education, nutrition, skills training, and sustainable enterprise development, we help create pathways out of poverty for children, youth, and families—strengthening both communities and the landscapes they call home.
Mission
To empower communities by creating pathways out of poverty through eco-villages that integrate holistic education, enterprise development, environmental stewardship, and skills building. At Nourish, we believe that lasting transformation begins at the roots. Through sustainable, community-driven programs, we work to redefine what it means to build a better, more connected world — from the ground up.
Vision
To build flourishing, connected communities where people and nature thrive together. We envision a world where rural communities living alongside protected areas are empowered with dignity, opportunity, and the skills to create resilient futures — forging a lasting connection between conservation and community upliftment.
