Social commitment is a matter close to our hearts. Our owner, Anke Rochau, has been a Lions Club member here in Cape Town for 18 years. Especially during the pandemic, we were heavily involved in aid projects, cooking meals in garages and supporting soup kitchens as well as local initiatives in and around Cape Town.
Our goal is to work with our customers to support targeted projects, open doors, and enable encounters. We want to introduce you to the “other South Africa” – the diversity of the Xhosa, Zulu, and Ndebele cultures, their traditions, their challenges, and their remarkable strength.
Our vision is to bring a smile to disadvantaged families – especially children – through your trip to South Africa. For many years, we have been covering a salary at the Baphumelele orphanage, and we support the Lions Club’s “Naked Baby Project“. Every year, we provide hundreds of baby starter kits for young mothers in township maternity clinics. If you would like to help, we are always very grateful for well-preserved baby clothes or cuddly toys from Germany.
We are happy to arrange individual township tours with the multi-award-winning local provider UTHANDO. These tours visit hand-picked community projects and provide extensive background information on living conditions in the neighborhoods. The contribution of approx. EUR 100.00 for this tour is also your donation, which goes 1:1 into the numerous Uthando projects.
We support the Township Glasses Project JONGA with regular donations and are involved in helping homeless people in and around Cape Town. Animal shelters on the Cape Peninsula and the West Coast also receive our support, caring for cats and dogs. Here, we primarily donate money for sterilizations to various facilities.
If you are interested, we would also be happy to combine a visit to the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg or a visit to Robben Island with your travel program to give you a better insight into South Africa’s recent apartheid history.
We are also committed to long-term engagement in Mozambique: Near the Travessia Beach Lodge (Inhambane Province), we support a primary school by covering the teacher’s salary costs. This gives children in these remote regions better opportunities for a good start in life.
With tour groups and incentive clients, we also visit projects in the townships. For example, thanks to a generous donation from BUDERUS, the community project Ithemba Labantu just outside Cape Town was equipped with much-needed solar collectors.
