The Observatory Civic Association (OCA) has a limited amount of funding available to assist people or organisations in Observatory with funding for projects that will benefit the community. We put out a first call for funding applications in January this year. This is a second call for further applications.
The guidelines are:
1. The project should be specific, with clear outcomes;
2. Funding will not normally be provided for ongoing administrative or office expenses.

HELP YOUR COMMUNITY
One of our most serious social problems is alcoholism and drug addiction. Most street people have alcohol or drug addiction problems – which helps to explain why they remain on the street (rather than entering a shelter)
We are fortunate to have in our midst a drug rehab centre (Beth Rapha) which is willing to admit people off the street, provided that they are recommended by our fieldworker, and are serious about entering a rehabilitation programme.

1. Background information
Beth Rapha have been providing a much needed drug rehabilitation service since 2000. They are a registered NPO, and they are recognised by SARS as a Public Benefit Organisation (PBO), which means that contributions are tax deductible. Their books are independently audited, and all donations will be acknowledged.
The long-established Cape Town Drug Counselling Centre (also in Observatory) approves of Beth Rapha’s programme and refers clients to them. They also confirm that raising funds for drug rehabilitation in Cape Town is a difficult and slow process.
2. Financial situation
Beth Rapha is currently threatened with closure (see the Weekend Argus of 15 May).
