The
Jewish National Fund of South Africa supports Israel and South Africa through eco-consciousness and environmental education. During the past 116 years the JNF of South Africa has fundraised for various projects in Israel including The South Africa Forest, the South African Memorial Forest (established to honour those ex-South Africans who fell in defense of the State), Drop-of -Life Water Campaign, Send a Child to Summer Camp Project (SACTOC), Besor Dam, Hula Valley, South Africa Memorial Forest, Gesher Water Reservoir and the Kadoorie Agriculture School, the Carmel Fires Emergency Campaign and the Holitz Security Plantings. In addition the JNF of South Africa established the Zikkim Project – a bomb shelter for children at Kibbutz Zikkim, who have only 5 seconds to reach protection against rocket attacks.
