Nahti, the guide, and Nana, the "mama"

Nahti is a fabulous guide who grew up in the townships.  His story is inspiring, and he provided us the opportunity to go into the shacks and hostels and experience the sense of community present.

The Philani Development Center was established by a Swedish medical doctor and her husband, a South African.  A workforce identifies underweight children, provides education for the mothers, and also training for the mothers to be able to make some money for their families.  It has seven centers throughout the townships.
