Supporting Local Communities
Developing our Local Communities
We help empower our local communities to develop themselves in a sustainable manner so that they may become better educated, healthy, financially secure and aware of the environment and the need to support nature conservation. The communities we serve are amongst the poorest in the Province, and have some of the worst general living, education and medical facilities in South Africa.
The Balule Outreach Trust was established in February 2012 to raise funds and engage in community development programs throughout the Hoedspruit and Phalaborwa communities of Limpopo Province in South Africa. The Trust is registered as a non-profit organisation with the Dept. of Social Development and with the South African Revenue Service as a Public Benefit Organisation.

Trust Donations
Support Our Cause, Become A Donor
The Trust relies for funding on the generosity of all members of the Balule Nature Reserve conservancy, their friends and associates. The two share blocks, Olifants North Game Reserve and Olifants River Game Reserve are anchor donors who have committed to making substantial grants on an annual basis. For this the Trustees acknowledge their invaluable support and thank them for their generosity.
Funding The Balule Outreach Trust
We seek donations from all stakeholders who have a vested interest in the Balule Nature Conservancy, and other interested parties, both from within South Africa and beyond our borders, who are concerned with the development of communities in conservation and ecologically sensitive areas.

Testimonials
Sarah Bergs
CEO, Nourish
“Thanks to the donation of the Balule Outreach Trust – Nourish was able to distribute 2 000 masks to vulnerable families in need throughout the greater Acornhoek community and surrounding impoverished villages. Children, grannies and families are now able to minimize their risk of catching or transmitting Covid-19 and stay just a little safer and more resilient! Nourish was also able to support 4 women through our sewing initiative, bringing income in and supporting livelihoods at a grassroots level.”

The Charity Calendar
“The Charity Calendar is proud to be associated with The Balule Outreach Trust and its invaluable initiatives. Our partnership dates back to 2014 and the Calendar has raised R500 000 to date towards the Trust’s community projects. The Calendar was founded as a family venture with my daughters Michelle and Anique in 2005 and is based on my amateur wildlife and travel photography. Its purpose is to raise funds for Aids orphans and other vulnerable children, and it enjoys the support of numerous individuals and corporates.”
Mickey Viegas
Headmaster, Southern Cross School
“Southern Cross Schools in partnership with The Balule Outreach Trust makes a tangible difference to young people in Limpopo, South Africa. The opportunity for an education of quality cannot be underestimated, in particular for those who would not ordinarily have the means to access such. The extraordinary generosity Southern Cross Schools beneficiaries receive from The Balule Outreach Trust, coupled with the personal hands-on involvement John Anderson extends to each of the sponsored learners, makes for a meaningful relationship that ensures a successful outcome for all parties. It is not often that one is in the significant position of having a direct influence on the lives of our future leaders, and this incredible partnership has certainly had a profound impact on all those involved! Southern Cross Schools and their very fortunate learners, thank The Balule Outreach Trust for affording them the opportunity of a lifetime.”
