Making your dreams a reality
Technology and economic inclusion for strong communities
In a country with such deep socio-economic inequality, there is no question that economic inclusion is the key to social justice. All our interventions are geared toward connecting the community we serve to opportunities to earn sustainable incomes and create an environment they can be proud to call home. We work in the community of Chatsworth, a township in Durban characterized by high unemployment and low social well-being. We aim to connect local entrepreneurs to opportunities to earn sustainable incomes by providing them with the resources, training and access to markets they need to grow their businesses. By placing special emphasis on the upliftment of youth, women and people with disabilities, we ensure that no one gets excluded. We also understand that a clean, green environment is essential for well-being, which is why we run greening programmes and upcycling initiatives.
Like many townships, lack of access to technology is a glaring problem in Chatsworth, exacerbating already deep inequality. This is why many of our interventions are focused on technological training. Our eHUB, built by Blue World Investments, serves as a township tech hub where we have run a variety of tech programmes for both adults and children. It also contains the CoCre8 Content Lab where creative entrepreneurs can access high-speed computers and Creative Cloud software.
