Vermaaklikheid is a rural community on the Duiwenhoks River, about 300km from Cape Town and 40km from the nearest town of Riversdale.
Whilst holiday makers enjoy its rural beauty, the majority of permanent residents are isolated with limited employment opportunities.
There are inadequate basic services, no investment in jobs or skills development & poor cross-community cooperation & trust.
Methamphetamine and Alcohol abuse is rife amongst adults & children, leading to widespread crime and dysfunctional family life.
Vermaakverbeter falls under the auspices of the Duiwenhoks Conservancy, a non-profit organisation formed in 2000.
The Duiwenhoks Conservancy is made up of local stakeholders who are committed to conserving the village of Vermaaklikheid, the Duiwenhoks river valley and surrounding area for the benefit of all communities.
