Ripples for Change was founded in 2013 by a group of women entrepreneurs in East London, in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa.
We are dedicated to finding new strategies for dealing with challenges faced by rural communities in South Africa.
We strive to strengthen communities and offer new opportunities to individuals, through a variety of programmes:
Supporting children & youth through initiatives that promote quality education, entrepreneurship, employment, mental health, and exposure to STEM fields of study.
Community support involves collective efforts and resources to address the needs of a community, fostering resilience and growth. Effective community support requires recognizing and understanding the unique challenges and strengths of a specific community, actively engaging with its members to co-create relevant and sustainable solutions.
Our philosophy is that we can support communities and achieve a long lasting impact through working partnerships with government departments, traditional leaders, private sector and like-minded organisations.
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
