These programs are designed to encourage youth to become healthy, responsible citizens in their racially diverse communities. Hope In South Africa Inc's (HISA's) primary program service accomplishments in 2023 were achieved through the continued delivery of the health education messages, including Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and HIV/AIDs education. The organization continues to support efforts to provide daily meals and fresh baked goods from the renovated and expanded soup kitchen located at the Richmond Community Center (RCC). The RCC also houses a computer training and education facility which provides resources for youth and adults. In 2023 the RCC was updated with the installation of a new diesel powered generator to assure both training and meal preparation could continue despite ongoing problems with the electrical supply resulting from rolling backouts that plague the South African electric grid. In addition, new pavers were placed in the area around the center to mitigate the ongoing issues with dust and dirt in the arid Karoo climate. Two trips of Rotarians visited the RCC and provided much need supplies of used clothing and sports equipment to augment the ongoing activities at the RCC. Contributions from local farmers greatly increased in 2023, resulting in a more robust and healthier menu selection at the soup kitchen for its beneficiaries. Lastly, Groundwork was put in place for the delivery in late 2024 of bikes. "Bikes for South Africa", a Rotary initiative, will benefit Hope in South Africa through the delivery of used bikes from donors around the globe. Future plans call for the establishment of a bike rental and repair facility at the RCC that can provide local children and adults with a healthy form of transportation and added recreation in an otherwise desolate area of the Karoo.Partnerships with local governments, non-profit organizations, schools, churches, Rotary clubs, and dedicated citizens help facilitate the ongoing support and success of these programs. Grassroot Hope in South Africa was recognized by the regional government for its Social Services and will be reimbursed for a number of social aid deliveries in the surrounding community. 70937 70937 Mary Nagle President 3.00 0 Jessica Cates-Bristol Vice President 0.50 0 Teresa Michel Board Member 0.50 0 Daniel Severn Board Member 1.50 0 Erica Christ Board Member 2.00 0 Jonathan Warner Secretary/Treas 10.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false MD Jonathan Warner 102 W Church Street Frederick MD 21701 3016630202 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 49122 54082 74550 84764 82031 344549 0 0 49122 54082 74550 84764 82031 344549 0 344549 0 0 0 344549 1.00000 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Grants and Similar Amounts Paid In Excess of $5,000.1 | Donee's Name: Grassroot Hope in South Africa | Cash Amount Given: $70500 Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $2137 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $25 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $304 Other Expenses.1 Bank Service Charges and Fees $200 Other Expenses.2 Other Filing Fees $200 Other Expenses.3 State Filing Fees $100
