About This Project
The Tshepang team of 27 workers and their SEEtrust partners are creating a better future for the underprivileged children and families.
Tshepang
Tshepang and SEEtrust Susan Rammekwa started Tshepang, a program for orphaned and vulnerable children. Susan works with a team of 27 workers, taking care of 230 children, counseling the care takers, providing meal services to fragile people in the community and initiating small economic activities, such as a sewing atelier and a vegetable garden. On the land that was bought, SEEtrust will build a much needed primary school, 10 units for small local enterprises, and 70 apartments to sell. The sale will finance the social facilities and pay back the investors, with a profit.
SEEtrust, Tshepang’s first partner, creates new ways for integrated economical and social development, which enable individuals and communities to improve their lives and future. SEEtrust starts from local initiativesand possibilities and focuses on facilitating and growing these. SEE trust is about SEEing possibilities, TRUSTing people and building entrepreneurial partnerships. To keep the projects sustainable and growing, a strong economical base is created, through combining external investments and donations with local income and through creating a return for all partners involved.
Economical, social, learning and environmental outcomes are generated by integrating as many as possible of the following elements:
- Generate income and work
- Create affordable and attractive housing
- Create educational and social facilities and networks
- Reduce ecological footprint
- Strengthen local (women) entrepreneurship and ownership
