June 2017 update: we won! Australia’s export credit agency, Efic, has ruled out funding for a huge new coal mine in South Africa.

*****

An Australian Government agency is about to decide whether to bankroll a massive coal mine in a small community in South Africa -- putting local communities, women’s rights and the environment at risk.

The company behind the coal mine is desperate to lock in finance now. We only have a short window of time to stop the agency from financing the controversial Boikarabelo mine.

Right now, brave women from the Limpopo province are banding together to stand up to the coal industry, and the Australian Government.

They need our help. Let’s stand with them and make sure this project is not funded by the Australian government.

Tell the Export Finance Agency to rule out funding the Boikarabelo coal mine in South Africa.
