Chances are that when your plane will land in Cape Town, you'll come in low over Khayelitsha.
Just under the wings, as you fasten your seatbelt and look forward to your luxury hotel and safari, over two million souls - 90.5% Black African, 8.5% Coloured and 0.5% White - are struggling to make a living, somehow. In Cape Town as well as in the townships, there is a staggering amount of ideas, talent and energy. It is amazing to see how micro-credit support and a little guidance helps restore confidence and launches sustainable and profitable grassroots ventures. These enable women bread-winners to achieve financial independence and freedom. And that's what ACT is all about. |
