From May 1991 to November 1992, the living conditions were surveyed, in an isolated, medically deprived rural community in the Langkloof area, of the South-Western Cape. Attention was given to demographic, socio -economic, health, educational and, attitudinal parameters. Home-remedies in use were identified and some assistance towards community development was given. Certain recommendations are made as a result of the observations documented.
