The South African Holocaust Foundation is dedicated to the creation of a just and caring society in which human rights and diversity are respected and valued. The South African Holocaust Foundation uses the lessons from the Holocaust to highlight issues related to human behavior, fragility of freedom, and the need for vigilance in preserving democratic values. Past support enabled the South African Holocaust Foundation to train teachers throughout the country on how to teach about the Holocaust and its universal lessons for human rights. Its belief is that Holocaust history helps students to develop an understanding of the consequences of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping. This grant will enable the South African Holocaust Foundation to continue to train senior teachers throughout the country as trainers on Nazi Germany, the Holocaust, and its universal lessons on humanity. These teachers will in turn provide ongoing training to grades nine and eleven teachers in their respective provinces.

Established in 1998, the Steve Biko Foundation seeks to nurture and develop community leadership, especially amongst the youth, as a means to promote civic participation in politics, the economy, and culture. It also promotes public dialogue on government policy, popular culture, and race relations through a series of lectures and seminars. The Steve Biko Foundation is inspired by the leadership legacy of Steven Bantu Biko, one of the founding figures of the black consciousness movement in South Africa who was murdered by the security police in September 1977. In the past two years, the Steve Biko Foundation supported youth and entrepreneurship programs in the Eastern Cape province, most notably the Expressions of Identity program for youth, which uses art to address social challenges. The program has attracted a lot of interest and the Steve Biko Foundation has requests for assistance to implement similar programs in various communities. This grant will continue to support the Steve Biko Foundation's efforts to nurture and affirm fundamental human values.

South African History Online is a live Web site committed to promoting and popularizing the study of South African history and culture that challenges and corrects the distortions and biases of the country's colonial and apartheid past. Its main activities include developing history curricula for high school learners, and conducting research and making available online the history of the country, particularly the history of the struggle for liberation. The site is widely accessed and the curriculum developed has been adopted in some schools as part of the history curriculum. Mott provided support to enhance the capacity of the staff, strengthen the research capacity, develop and update the schools curriculum, and expand the Web site and widen its reach. This grant will continue to support South African History Online for its work directed at producing an objective and inclusive account of South Africa's past, which contributes to building a just and nonracial society.
