Who We Are!

Since 2007, we have managed to raise a significant amount of funds in support of changemaking community development projects across Cape Town, especially within under-served communities.

Our motto is: Taking Care of People & Planet, which essentially means that we strive to uplift and empower under-resourced communities, while ensuring that our planet can benefit in the process – waste to wonder

Why We Do It!

Poverty Headcount in South Africa (56.8%)

South Africa’s poverty headcount sits at a staggering 56.8%.

Through our work, we help under-resourced people gain access to their basic needs while ensuring that their well-being is looked after. We also go beyond basic needs by addressing the root causes of poverty – lack of skills and job opportunities.

Through investing in people’s development & creating opportunities for employment, we aim to reduce poverty & foster upward economic-mobility across South Africa’s severely under-resourced communities!
