Welcome to the Keiskamma Canada blog. Based in Edmonton, Alberta, Keiskamma Canada supports the work of the Keiskamma Trust, a South African not-for-profit organization dedicated to the holistic care of the communities that live in the area alongside the Keiskamma River in the Eastern Cape. The Trust combines health, art, music and education initiatives in an integrated fight against poverty and HIV/AIDS, working to restore hope and health to every member of the community.
This blog was created to provide up-to-date news and information about the Keiskamma projects in Hamburg. There will be upcoming posts by artisans working in the project, by the directors of the project, and various community workers. As well, the blog will showcase smaller textiles made by the project, such as bags and pillow covers, and offer them for sale. Funds are always needed, now perhaps more than ever, and I've installed a Keiskamma Canada paypal button on the sidebar for donations.
