We are also committed to supporting Ikamva Labantu, a
well-respected non-profit organisation whose primary objectives are to redress
the damaging effects of South Africa's apartheid past and to support South
Africa's growing democracy, by providing empowerment through education,
economic development and sustainable self-sufficiency.
The organisation runs and facilitates over 1000 projects in
urban and rural townships across South Africa including programmes for
children, orphans, HIV/Aids sufferers, township youth, senior citizens, the
disabled and the unemployed. Working in partnership, Ikamva Labantu's
multicultural staff trains community members to assume leadership roles by
giving them an opportunity to be responsible for the successful implementation
of their jointly created social service programmes.
Members of Ikamva currently enjoy free access to pro bono work
in terms of legal advice from our Cape Town office. The firm is also in the
process of registering Ikamva's newly bought property. Directors and staff will
work together on a project with Imkava to establish and sustain facilities
within the community.
