Today we spoke to Ingrid Le Roux – a Medical Doctor. We were talking about the Philani Nutrition and Development Project. The project was established in the “illegal” squatter community of Crossroads in 1979 to provide basic child health and nutrition services to a community ignored and neglected by the health authorities of the apartheid era. It now operates in nine communities in Cape Town. They also provide income generating programmes for the women in those communities. For more information you can contact their offices at (021) 387 5124 or visit www.philani.org.za
And we also had an interview with Fairouz Nagia – project coordinator from the Gender advocacy programme or GAP. GAP's main aim is to serve as a medium between key decision-makers and marginalised women. They seek to ensure women's equal access to and full participation in structures of power and decision-making at all levels of government, political parties and communities.
