KwaZulu-Natal

We provide training, skills and capacity building services that unlock economic opportunity, contribute to wellbeing and poverty alleviation, and build environmental citizenship in rural areas. Our programmes are as follows:

1. We assist youth to find and keep work through career guidance, access to vocational training, facilitating linkages with employees and graduates for work placements and an internship programme that includes at-work training, work readiness and professional development and ongoing mentoring.
2. We support rural informal sector businesses by enhancing business skills, focussing on personal development and providing linkages to opportunities and markets.
3. We build awareness of the value of conservation and environmental protection, with an emphasis on rights to a healthy environment and duty of care.
4. People Nature Connect also works with teams and organisations to craft their socio-economic and community development strategies and help them set up programmes.

Our team has a long history and specialises in the interface between rural development and conservation. We have over 25 years experience in poverty alleviation, environmental management and social justice.

We have worked in University, government and non-government sectors.
