Charities we support at The Travel Cafe Cape Town

Many companies talk about "social responsibility" and that time they painted the wall of a local school. Perhaps they even built a school. Such actions are nice, but do they lead to lasting change? We don't believe they do. Because who will run the new school when the patron leaves? Has the local community learned how to build other schools, or even how to successfully operate and manage a school? Does painting a school wall have a truly positive impact on the community?

At The Travel Cafe Cape Town we have decided not to follow the pattern of handouts, which only strip people of their power. Instead we believe the ultimate way to contribute is by empowering people, and to help them take charge of their own life and their destiny.

That is why we are so proud of the amazing projects on this page which we have been able to work with since we started The Travel Cafe Cape Town. And watch this space, we'll add more projects - as we grow our company so we will also be able to expand our impact.
