Care and Community in South Africa
|
South Africa's infamous townships are full of people desperate to create a better world for their children. Since unemployment is high; almost 40%, these poorer areas are full of basic social problems such as alcoholism and domestic violence. Parents are not keen to have their children affected by their surroundings, and attempt to keep them busy through crèches, schools and after school activities, though this is not easy with limited or no funds.
