In Africa we have a unique solution to a growing problem worldwide.

GEORGE, WESTERN CAPE PROVINCE, SOUTH AFRICA, August 18, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Our project in Africa http://crossroadsgeorge.org.za

In South Africa we have found a solution to a big problem currently plaguing our country. As the economic woes continue due to the ongoing global recession there are more and more families finding themselves living on the harsh streets of Africa.
By and large most of these people are not the typical tramp type portfolio of person we think of. These people are often entire families who once held steady jobs. They lived in middle class suburbs owned or owed on property. They held vehicle finance and clothing accounts and paid taxes. They have children in schools very much living the life most people are accustomed to. Something happens and one thing leads to another in a downward spiral and eventually they have nothing left but a few shopping bags full of belongings. Alcohol and drug abuse compounds on the problem as many people take to it as a coping mechanism for the harsh life they find on the streets. The women often become victims of sexual abuse and children too.
The solution is our work farm shelter situated in the stunning Outeniqua valley.
It is a sanctuary of hope love and peace where we will be able to restore people body mind and spirit. More can be seen here http://crossroadsgeorge.org.za

An undertaking of this nature is enormous in capital outlay for two people however we feel guided in asking the world at large for assistance here

This venture is the showcase for similar projects we wish to in time launch in other areas of South Africa. Our urgent call is for public participation to assist in raising the needed funds. No one belongs on the streets. Assist us to assist them and share in the knowledge that your small donation will go a very long way in providing someone far off with a reasonable chance in life. Kindly care and share this project from the heart as far and wide as possible. This project is not just in providing overnight shelter but having residents commit to a life changing experience in uplifting them body mind and spirit and restore them to being functional citizens to once again be in a position of authority over their own lives and be reintegrated into society with the necessary skills and tools to succeed in life.

It breaks my heart having to show people the streets due to not having enough resources in accommodation and food etc.With your dollar donation it goes along way as currently one single US Dollar is worth 11 times in our own poor currency in South African Rand.

Currently we get no funds from governments as the list for people in need has become so big that children may be grown up by the time place becomes available in scarcely run state facilities.
Currently we have 123 HA of extremely arable soil .We have the basic accommodation structure as per website http://crossroadsgeorge.org.za
Kindly share and care our fundraising link far and wide please.
