Welcome to the Kalahari Peoples Fund
The Kalahari Peoples Fund is an Austin, Texas, based non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization formed for the benefit of the San and other indigenous peoples of the Kalahari Desert. Its main function is to act as a liaison between the rural peoples of the Kalahari region and the individuals, groups and agencies who are able to assist in their economic, educational, cultural and sustainability needs.

We are proud to announce the publication of Ju|'hoan folktales: Transcriptions and English translations.
This book—a Ju|'hoan-language literacy primer—has been produced by the
Ju|'hoan Transcription Group, active since 2002 in Nyae Nyae,
Namibia. The members of the Transcription Group, all Ju|'hoan men and
women, transcribed and translated versions of Ju|'hoan folktales
recorded in Botswana and Namibia between 1971 and 2006, to prepare the
selections for the primer. Meant as literacy study materials for youth
and adults of the Ju|'hoan communities of both countries, the fourteen
selected tales are arranged in order of increasing length and
complexity. The tales are not compilations from various versions, but
faithful renderings of speciļ¬c recordings. They are accompanied by
both literal, line-by-line English translations and short English
synopses.
