Come celebrate international human rights month with the community of Orange Farm, a large informal settlement on the outskirts of Johannesburg.

​

The Itsoseng Women's Project a community based organization based in Orange Farm, started in 1997. Since then it has brought dignity to the lives of women and children, by providing opportunities of employment, education, nutrition and free legal aid. By creating employment and opportunity through recycling of waste, this project helps to contribute to greening the environment, and raise funds to reinvest in early childhood care, human rights, livelihoods, and support community projects.

​

This month the project has partnered with PikitUp to get more people to recycle their waste. By expanding the recycling to more people, the hope is to green the environment, create more jobs and contribute to global efforts to combat climate change.
