RUDNET is a network of non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) committed to enhancing the quality of life of farm-working communities through the provision of a cohesive and sustainable programme of integrated and quality development services.  

RUDNET was established in 2002, the need being apparent for an organisation to address, among others, the following concerns regarding farm workers that are marginalized and whose needs have been overlooked. With 71% of people in rural areas living below the poverty line and social conditions are poor including alcoholism, limited education and  poor health (HIV/AIDS, TB). Further to this is the threat these conditions pose to the Wine Industry and agricultural sector in general if these conditions and problems are not addressed.
