Rhiza was founded in 2010 in the Netherlands as a holistic community development organisation. The driving force behind this foundation is Alef Meulenberg. After making several trips to underserved and(underprivileged) communities in Southern and East Africa, in particular the enormous inequality in South Africa affected him so much(immensely) that he decided to take action and founded the foundation. Rhiza stands for equality, sustainability, local involvement!
