Trudy Poole - Green Gecko
The Green Gecko Project is an established grassroots NGO recognised for bringing effective and sustainable positive change to the communities we work with. Through our holistic approach and long-term programs, we have empowered 32 families who previously lived and worked on the streets, to care for their children in a safe and nurturing environment.
Through mentoring, training, health initiatives and social enterprises, our families have been able to successfully break the cycle of begging and dramatically reduce the many negative consequences of living in poverty.
We had three inspiring speakers who had benefitted from the project.

The facility was established in the 1950’s to meet the medical needs of the local community.
The Maternity Ward requires significant renovation to make it conducive for both the new born babies, mothers and mid-wives.
There is need to fix windows, doors, the roof, ceiling, veranda and water harvesting system at the ward, as well as eventually re-equipping the labour unit.
