Projects

Gumboots UK is proud of the support we have been able to provide over a number of years to “home-grown” projects, located within some of the most deprived urban and rural communities in South Africa.

We have forged close friendships and bonds with the people who run and benefit from these projects and we feel privileged to have played a part in their success.

There is no limit to what can be done when such energy, creativity and resourcefulness is at hand and with your support we can really help to make a difference.
