This is the new homepage for RPM-solutions.ca and it will hopefully be more useful then the old web portal. The plan is to use this portal to allow access to the various Peet trips to Africa, as well as to stored resources, such as CSR material and Micro-finance information.

Welcome to Africa

Since 2000 the Peet's have been travelling to Africa to participate in development and capacity building work. They have started a Home Based Care HIV/AIDS project called "Ithembelethu" or "Seeds of Hope" as well as a Community Computer Training Facility and are currently working to help establish a micro-finance program. Below you will find a table with links to the previous trips taken by the Peets as well as access to the blog of any current trip. There is also information gathered here that may be interesting or relevant to the work being done in Africa.
