Relate Bracelets supports Ikamva Labantu's community-based interventions for the elderly which take the form of senior clubs with a range of activities that address health, nutrition, cognitive stimulation, and frail care support for elders in need of medical assistance.
The goal of Ikamva Labantu is to use community-led projects to fully realise South Africa's potential while prioritising human security and people first.
The main activities of Ikamva Labantu are situated in township communities around Cape Town and beyond. The work of Ikamva Labantu is primarily concerned with the welfare of the elderly, the growth of young children, and after-school programmes that keep kids off the streets and safe. Operating as a non-profit, Ikamva Labantu strives to be a conduit for community-led change
Relate Bracelets partnership with Ikamva Labantu goes beyond donating funds to its highly deserving and effective projects. Ikamva Labantu’s local township senior clubs provide the majority of our workforce, as these are the elders who bead our bracelets. By creating an income for the seniors, we help supplement there meager pensions and give them dignity within their communities.
South Africa continues to demonstrate its indomitable spirit in tackling systems of poverty and inequality to create a more equitable and prosperous future for all.
