Karoo Furniture Manufacturers, Cradock - October 2011
In March we announced the opening of Karoo Furniture Manufacturers. We are now ready to take the next step in the growing the business as orders come in from further and further away. The business is now serving 13 different surrounding communities and has orders waiting to be filled.
Up to now we have been blessed by the support of another manufacturer in Middleburg who has been graciously picking up our finished products and delivering them to our customers on our behalf. We are now receiving so many orders that they cannot keep up with the deliveries for us and their own business. We need to purchase a used delivery vehicle. We are looking for your support in raising $51,000 to be able to purchase a delivery vehicle for the exclusive use of Karoo Furniture Manufacturers. If you can help, please click the donate button and help us raise the funds. EVERY dollar counts.

Bergnek, Limpopo
In January 2011 we have registered a new business in community of Bergnek, in Limpopo region in northern South Africa. The purpose is to create an umbrella to build community businesses with in the region. We are considering a number of business ideas and will run the first Iziko Labahlali program in Bergnek in October 2011. This March in Bergnek we took the opportunity to work with the community to solve the water problems the community had been experiencing for nearly two years by re-activating and installing a new well and pump for the community. The experience was so humbling. Check out the BLOG for more details.
