Village
FOCUS ON THE OAKS VILLAGE
A waste management problem
DAKTARI has a community management project with the municipality. The mission of this project is to develop the Oaks village to be known as an “Eco Friendly Touristic Village”.
We first want to put in place a recycle solution. We are waiting for the approval of the municipality and the delivery of 20 cement dustbins and 3 recycling cages to equip the village at some strategic places.
ECO-CLUB
DAKTARI will organise a show with the children of the Eco Club to enhance the idea of a clean village during the call for public participation that will be done by the municipality.
Also, to help with this project, the children will be involved in painting the dustbins and decorating them.

A last word?“Dear Michele and Ian,
Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to say that I admire what you do to
improve the life of children and animals.
When I came across your project with Shiloweni for the first time while surfing the Global Giving website, I couldn't NOT help the beautiful cat that you saved. I've always loved cats, you know, no matter how big and wild they are.
Later I came to know and respect your other projects in DAKTARI school and orphanage. You
teach the kids, open their eyes to their beautiful homeland and give them a chance for a better life. Knowing that somebody cares for you is important, so you are very important for
these boys and girls and of course for your animals :)
Thank you very-very much and all my best wishes!
Tanya”
