These programs are designed to encourage youth to become healthy, responsible citizens in their racially diverse communities. 2025 continued the implementation of Hope in South Africa, Inc's (HISA's) core activities. The soup kitchen and bakery continued to supply youth and adults in need with nutritous meals daily from Monday through Friday. The efforts in the soup kitchen were supported not only by Grassroot Hope in South Africa (GHISA), but also by donations of meat and vegetables from local farmers, community members, and the national government.The computer center, located in the Richmond Community Center (RCC), continued in efforts of providing computer skills training and educational opportunities for adults and youth in the community. Local high school and middle school students rely on the computer center to complete their homework and engage in job search activities. Programs long championed by HISA in delivering health education messages relevant to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and HIV/AIDs awareness continue to be presented at the RCC. 75100 In 2025, the more than 500 bikes that arrived at the end of 2024 were unpacked and prepared for use by the residents of Richmond and Colesberg. Half of the bikes were shared with the Rotary partners in Colesberg, NC. HISA has provided critical funding and support for this bike effort in partnership with several Rotary Clubs in South Africa, the USA, and around the World. The goal of establishing a bicycle activity area in Colesberg and at the Richmond Community Center (RCC) was successful. A second shipping container was purchased and delivered to be used for storage and to establish a bike shop for repairs. In 2025, 6 travelers from Frederick, Maryland, including 4 Rotarians, traveled to Richmond and Colesberg to support the bike effort and help implement the program. HISA, in partnership with the Rotary Clubs, trained community members in both towns to be bicycle mechanics. Children and adults received training in the safety, upkeep, and responsibility of bicycle ownership. During a weekend event, the USA travelers conducted bike riding and repair workshops and participated in several bike rides in Colesberg, NC with local Rotarians and residents from Richmond, Colesberg, Empangeni, and Kimberley. The event was a huge success combining Rotarians and residents, all from different backgrounds and ethnicities, in a positive and supportive environment. 20048 95148 Mary Nagle President 3.00 0 Jessica Cates-Bristol Vice President 0.50 0 Teresa Michel Board Member 0.50 0 Daniel Severn Treasurer 5.00 0 Jonathan Warner Secretary 7.00 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 74550 84764 82031 148183 75672 465200 0 0 74550 84764 82031 148183 75672 465200 0 465200 0 0 0 465200 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: $75100 Grants and Similar Amounts Paid In Excess of $5,000.2 | Donee's Name: Rotary Clubs of Colesburg and Richmond | Cash Amount Given: $14370 Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $1136 Other Expenses.1005 Travel $2101 Other Expenses.1 Program Supplies $3577 Other Expenses.2 Bank Service Charges and Fees $456 Other Expenses.3 State Filing Fees $200
