Past Projects
South Africa
The first time God send Julita on an overland mission, she had no idea of what to expect or how it will work and as she always says…,” that was a good thing”. 6400km later, visiting farmers in the drought streaking areas of South Africa with only a promise that the rain will follow her, Julita started what she did not then know, will be a life altering journey. She brought hope to many, many farmers and those relationships are still in tact today.
Namibia
After completing her first South Africa overland trip, God send Julita to Namibia, crossing those
roads in her Hyundaii20, something everyone said is impossible. But God turned that little vehicle into a 4×4 and after travelling 11600 km across Namibia, nobody doubted that God send her. Today, when Julita travels Namibia, nearly everyone knows her. She is never without a place to sleep. She visited farmers all through Namibia, South , North, East and West. She has been back a few times and continues to build these relationships and supporting the farmers of Namibia.
Cape to Cairo
Solo woman travelling more than 25000km through Africa from Cape Town to Alexandria in Egypt and BACK. 6 month journey. Sleeping mostly on the roof of her vehicle in the rooftop tent, camping in wild Africa…….This was epic!! The connections made on this trip, is still intact and growing all the time. Many projects came from this trip as Julita saw the need and also the potential.
Zambia
Going Back and back and back to Africa establishing strong connections and building something that will only grow. In Livingstone, Julita felt connected to the people there, from prison outreach, helping a clinic with medical care, establishing a few businesses with the entrepreneurs there and teaching them business skills. Also providing training in media as this is a growing industry in Zambia. And her joy, being part of the Julita Oscar foundation with a little school for 55 kids in Ipee, western Zambia.
Malawi
Assisting the farmers in Malawi on how to plant and providing them with resources to provide food not only for themselves and their villages, but to be in a position to provide food for their nation even in times of drought. Connections has been made all throughout Africa and Malawi is one beautiful country, but so full of poverty. Many relationships were established in Malawi and is now a country often on the MamaLita adventure list.
Uganda
Uganda is known for many things and also for its gorillas. And if you have been there, you will know that this sure is a place for gorillas. Lushes bushes and plants, but its people suffer because of poverty. One loaf of bread is equal to one day’s wages. So to give someone a loaf of bread for free, is giving him a day’s labour for free. In Uganda we support a house of 20 orphans, helping with school fees and supporting food schemes. Trying to obtain land here, so the orphans can plant and sustain themselves.
Tanzania
From helping coffee farmers export their coffee, to women’s retreats.
And helping the Masai. The Masai is a sad story currently and we hope to soon have some very positive results here.
