• PRODDER is an online directory published by Southern African NGO Network<br />
(SANGONeT). The directory provides support to NPOs: advertising their job<br />
vacancies, events and solicitations for corporate support, as well as making<br />
them visible to potential donors. It is not solutions-oriented and does not<br />
serve the people who need the information.<br />
• People say that the RESOURCE DIRECTORY is reminiscent of the Whole Earth<br />
Catalogue from the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. (A huge compliment!)<br />
• The RESOURCE DIRECTORY has been compared to Trialogue: Business in<br />
Society Handbook. However, even though Trialogue contains alphabetical<br />
listings of South African NPOs who paid to be included, the book is aimed at<br />
guiding corporate social investment in South Africa. It is not intended as a tool<br />
for end-users: people and communities that need help, which is the focus of<br />
the South African Conversations <strong>Resource</strong> <strong>Directory</strong>.<br />

• The directory is not aimed at funders, but provides comprehensive, solutionsoriented<br />
information about a wide array of resources and practical solutions<br />
to problems that beset poor communities. Nothing happens in isolation: a<br />
programme that deals with domestic violence alone will be of little use when a<br />
family is food insecure and malnourished.<br />
• The <strong>Directory</strong> is not arranged alphabetically, but in order of people’s needs,<br />
making it easy to find solutions to a particular problem.<br />
• In addition to contact listings (classifieds), the directory contains how-to<br />
articles, as well as information about best practices in other countries,<br />
recommendations about useful publications, apps and videos, plus<br />
recommendations on how concerned onlookers, businesses and policymakers<br />
can help make a difference.<br />
• Non-commercial listings are free, ensuring editorial integrity.<br />

Here’s what people say about this resource<br />
This directory is one of the most incredible resources I have ever come across as a participatory development activist<br />
collaborating with marginalized communities. It is an extraordinarily beautiful and accessible tool providing access<br />
to information and knowledge that communities can draw on to give substance to the rights provided for us by our<br />
Constitution. – Dr Marjorie Jobson National Director, Khulumani Support Group<br />
The directory ... has enormous worth for South Africa. It is especially valuable for people who are marginalised and who<br />
have limited access to the internet ... It is my wish that every home could have access to this amazing labour of love.<br />
Getting it into the hands of those who need it most would be a collective effort from those of us who are committed to the<br />
co-creation of our preferred future. – Rev Theo Mayekiso Author of Being Black A South African Story that Matters<br />
An insanely detailed and meticulous listing to help communities without access to data get help and resourcing.<br />
– Karen Brokensha The Domino Foundation<br />
... a meticulously compiled, unique and comprehensive encyclopedia of valuable information. It is professionally designed,<br />
inviting and easy to use, with foresight and understanding of people’s needs. This masterpiece of a resource should be<br />
available in every home, every village, school, company and institution in South Africa. It is an amazing resource to aid our<br />
individual and collective development. – Dr Meshack Khosa CEO, Fresh Thinking Capital<br />
The Education section provides a comprehensive overview of good quality, (mostly free) online resources, for learners and<br />
teachers alike. The directory is very relevant in these difficult times [with] up-to-date information on online teaching ... homeschooling<br />
and specific resources for writing the matric exams. It offers information on career guidance, study opportunities<br />
in South Africa and abroad, as well as bursaries and scholarships. The directory succeeds in presenting [a] vast amount of<br />
information in an easily accessible way. – George Dor Advanced Mathematics Educator<br />
It is not only necessary but imperative that all public, private, labour and civil society sectors do everything in their power<br />
to get this extraordinary resource into the hands of the people of South Africa. For in its pages are gathered the wisdom,<br />
solutions and tools that will allow all South Africans to take individual responsibility for building a better world – for<br />
ourselves, our families, our communities and our country. – Professor Dan Sandi<br />
We all think that everyone nowadays has access to Google, but this is simply not the case. Millions of our people do not have<br />
money for data to find the information that can change their lives. This book should circulate our townships and rural areas<br />
where communities are deprived of information. [It] is also a powerful tool for any institution or person who works to help<br />
others. – Renee Andrews Treasurer General, Black Business Chamber<br />
This is a welcome and much-needed resource for South Africa. It is useful for those with no access to the internet or with no<br />
data, and for those who work to assist people. It is very informative, easy to use and a powerful guide to critical solutions<br />
to problems we experience as South Africans. This book [is] like having access to Google, but in print and tailor-made for<br />
South Africa. It complements Government efforts ... helps protect every citizen’s right to information and gives meaning to<br />
the principle that ‘working together we can do more’. – Lumko Mtimde Former Special Advisor to the Minister in the<br />
Presidency, The Presidency, Republic of South Africa<br />
This directory provides access, ideas and direction to South Africans across careers, professions, income and education<br />
levels. It is an absolute must have for every South African. – Ali Engelbrecht CEO, Women in Business<br />
The <strong>Resource</strong> <strong>Directory</strong> holds within its pages the power to liberate poor and under-serviced communities. This labour of<br />
love, affirmation and empowerment ... makes our freedom a meaningful possibility. The <strong>Directory</strong> provides ... an opportunity<br />
to restore communities’ ability to chart their own development, to create the communities they want to live in. This <strong>Directory</strong><br />
will go down in Mzansi’s history as one of those small miracles that made a huge difference in shaping the country we all<br />
want. – Lidia Pretorius Disability Empowerment Consultant<br />
This extensively researched directory is a comprehensive resource for dealing with our most pressing issues in South<br />
Africa. The plethora of information is well curated, meticulously researched, diligently conveyed and readily accessible<br />
and implementable. Despite its packed pages, this is not a book of cold facts; it is permeated with a sense of nurturance<br />
and genuine care ... to purposefully and practically bring an end to hunger, poor health, malnutrition, poverty and<br />
discrimination ... the ethos of a return to the bounty of nature and to one’s own inner power permeates the book. This book<br />
is for everyone, not just for the poor, because it suggests ways in which we all can improve our own welfare and that of our<br />
fellow citizens. – Mirna Lawrence Writer & Educator<br />
