Centre for Environmental Rights – Advancing Environmental Rights in South Africa

Many courageous community activists working for environmental justice across the country are hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown. Our partner groundWork has been raising  relief funds, and has already distributed stipends to aid activists deprived of their usual means to earn a living. In this time of need and crisis, we appeal to CER’s friends, allies, fellow activists and funders to make donations that groundWork will distribute directly to these activists and their families.
