Grow Project, community upliftment program

This is the product of devotion...Sonja, my former design collegue's out reach program, her commitment to community upliftment never ceases to amaze me!

The Grow Project in Langebaan on the West Coast of South Africa is a registered non-profitable organisation (NPO-067-442), BBEE, providing less fortunate people in rural areas with VARIOUS OPPORTUNITIES in order to obtain a sustainable future for themselves, their families and together GROW the future of South Africa.

To achieve our objectives we have trained people to manufacture products using local recycled materials. Our products range from hammocks, hand bags, shoes, wine bags, lamp shades, chandeliers, hand rolled beads & jewelry.

The Grow Project is working towards GLOBAL CHANGE by improving the following areas of overall life, poverty, social upliftment by growing hope, creating business opportunities, growing dreams and talents, creating environmental awareness, heritage and knowledge transfer to ALL genders, races, ages and those who are mentally and physically disabled.

Existing Projects under Grow:

Arts & Crafts Centre, Growing Individual Businesses, Mentally & Disabled Challenged, Abused WOMAN & Children, Performing Arts

The Arts & Crafts Centre was founded in 2009 training less fortunate people in designing, manufacturing, marketing, and growing their own businesses.
It has been a GREAT SUCCESS and currently 20 crafters now successfully manage their own businesses in our community.
Further, the Grow Project has been training arts & crafts at the Mentally challenged/disabled schools in our area in order to offer these children career opportunities after leaving school.
