Listening to our beneficiaries: The Senior Sector Workshop
On the 27th of August, I went to The Rainbow Centre (one of Ikamva Labantu’s Multi-Purpose Centres) in Guguletu for a Senior Sector workshop. I must tell you, I left this workshop more confident than ever that Ikamva Labantu is truly committed to bringing our communities closer to realizing Ikamva Labantu’s vision of developing self-reliant and sustainable community based organisations in order to facilitate positive social change. And not only are we committed to this vision, but our Senior Sector can serve as a wonderful indication that we are, in fact, on the right track!

The programme serves more than 650 seniors in 17 senior centres known as senior clubs in the townships.
