 Poverty in South Africa registered a strong decline between 2002 and last year, official data released by Statistics South Africa.
The ratio of households in which one child went hungry fell to 2.4% last year from 6.7% in 2002, while the ratio in which an adult went hungry fell to 2.5% from 6.9%, according to an annual survey from Statistics South Africa.
Other key living standard measures showed that the proportion of households with access to electricity, water, toilets and waste removal rose significantly during that period, backing evidence that conditions for South Africa’s poor are improving. |

We can compare the Vocational and Animation Centre to “Bromide”, which means a chemical compound used in medicine to calm the nerves. The Vocational and Animation Centre gives the opportunity in somehow to be in touch with our Lord through prayers; to calm the sorrows and for orientation of life and future. |
