groundWork is a non-profit environmental justice service and developmental organization working primarily in South Africa but increasingly in Southern Africa.

groundWork seeks to improve the quality of life of vulnerable people in South Africa, and increasingly in Southern Africa, through assisting civil society to have a greater impact on environmental governance.

groundWork places particular emphasis on assisting vulnerable and previously disadvantaged people who are most affected by environmental injustices.

Current project areas include air quality, waste (including industrial landfill waste, health care waste and incineration), corporate accountability and publications.
