Programmes and Projects – Overview
PPT is involved in a range of mutually supporting developmental programmes which focus on the poor and most vulnerable and wherever possible pursues a holistic and integrated approach. Each programme addresses a specific developmental need or opportunity which is regarded as important in bringing about transformation and change in South Africa.
