We network with REFLECT practitioners in the SADC region to share knowledge and to build on our collective best practices.
We send out monthly bulletins about the projects we're working on, and the progress we're making.
REFLECT is an innovative approach to adult learning and social change, conceived by Action Aid in 1993, and piloted in El Salvador, Bangladesh and Uganda in 1993-1995
Part of a world-wide network of REFLECT practitioners, SARN's members are committed to breaking the poverty cycle, and increasing the participation of previously marginalised communities.
SARN addresses various themes such as food security, gender violence, HIV/AIDS, and more...
SARN consists of 8 organisations throughout South Africa, implementing a wide variety of projects or programmes within their respective communities.
There's a lot you can do, whether you're a potential funder, someone with skills that you would like to contribute, or a student looking for research and practising opportunities - and it's EASY to get involved!
You can find a variety of helpful documents including training resources and REFLECT facilitation tools, right here!

Construction of the SARN website.
This website is nearing completion. We have changed our web servers, and are implementing various exciting features that will soon increase and improve your experience. So, bookmark us and visit regularly, or, alternately, make contact with us and let us know that we can notify you when we're fully operational. In the meantime, please accept our apologies for any gremlins you may encounter!

SARN evolved out of a growing concern amongst current REFLECT practitioners to ensure HIV and AIDS is mainstreamed into adult education work, to ensure REFLECT practices are effectively implemented within organisations, to pool expertise and strengthen learning, and to generate information that can change practices which affect disadvantaged communities.

Food Security is a critical theme in developing communities,
especially in light of current global basic food pricing trends.

SARN concerns itself with a variety of thematic areas of work, such as gender issues, food security, HIV/AIDS, and more. By being involved in multiple projects throughout South Africa, SARN is able to co-ordinate nationwide efforts at addressing these thematic areas of work with far-reaching impact.
