Company description
The Topsy Foundation NPC is a fully-registered and internationally-respected South African Non Profit Company and Public Benefit Organisation which provides relief services to some of South Africa’s most under-resourced rural communities.
Topsy partners with communities based in the sub-district of Dipaleseng. Dipaleseng is located in the district of Gert Sibande in Mpumalanga. Gert Sibande is the district with the second highest HIV prevalence rate in the country at 40.5%. Within this district, Dipaleseng’s HIV prevalence rate is 31%.
35.2% of Dipaleseng’s population of 42, 390, is female-headed households.
The unemployment rate in Dipaleseng is 37, 2% and the youth unemployment rate is 45, 2%. 12% of the population over 20 years of age has had no schooling of any kind, with 43.4% having had only limited primary school level exposure.
Mpumalanga is marred by high poverty rates, and unemployment. Poverty and unemployment in South Africa are often rural phenomena.
The municipality does not have a hospital, but does have clinics in all three nodal towns. As much as these clinics seek to address the needs of the communities, the demand far exceeds them.
The population which Topsy targets and assists can be typically described as the most marginalised population group and can be characterised as follows:
? High levels of unemployment.
? Low average educational and skills levels.
? Very low average incomes.
? Big average family size. Extended families are common.
? Very low levels of mobility. Car ownership is rare and public transportation facilities inadequate. This situation is further aggravated by the long distances to social facilities such as clinics and schools, and the scarcity and sporadic nature of public transport. People in this group regularly travel long distances by foot.
