Nomonde Siyaka, the heart and soul of the Langa township near Cape Town owns 'Mzansi', the famous restaurant.

Township promiscuity, alcohol, drugs and the related violence can create untenable situations for women and their young children.
They need a place to seek calm and safety. The Blue Downs crisis center was unsafe and derelict. So ACT stepped in. ACT and partners planned & funded a corporate social responsibility event for 250 enthusiastic executives to renovate the Blue Downs crisis center building in just one single day. |

A creche in a squatter camp... |
|
|
|
|
According to the World Bank, South Africa is the most unequal country. In the world.
A land of beauty and misery, of sharp contrasts. Here's a striking example.
30 minutes' drive from the lively Cape Town Waterfront, next to a splendid vineyard estate... lies the squatter camp of Doornbach.
A community creche in the heart of Doornbach squatter camp badly needed reconstruction.
Established on private land, this informal camp was not qualified for social services assistance albeit home to 30'000 inhabitants.
So ACT stepped in.

The rebuilt school is now attended by 104 students aged 4 to 13 and 8 teachers. |
