About Us

The Balule Outreach Trust

Non-Profit Outreach Trust

Empowering Our Local Communities

The Balule Outreach Trust was established in February 2012 to raise funds and engage in community development programs in 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.

From small beginnings in 2013 we have established a firm relationship over several years with our two major beneficiaries – Southern Cross School in Hoedspruit and South African Medical Expeditions (SAME) through their After School Child Care Centre in Sigagule Village.

Covid-19 Support Programs

Covid-19 has, without warning, brought with it different challenges for which solutions have been urgently sought and we are currently concentrating on providing funds for much needed food, masks and sanitization within the communities. In addition to SAME we are supporting Nourish, an NPO operating in Sigagule with funds for making masks, and the Apostolic Faith Mission and the Maseke Community with funds for food parcels, both of whom operate in communities within the Phalaborwa region.

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.

Our Purpose

We support programs that are designed to help learner teachers improve their skills through gaining access to educational resources and training materials by participating in skills upliftment programs. This involves those who show great potential, but have no access to the requisite funds for their education.

  • Financial Bursaries to selected learners from indigent families
  • Programs to help educate the community on HIV and AIDS related issues
  • Cultural and social development in the early pre-school stage of childhood
  • Awareness programs to educate on environmental and ecological issues
