Celebrating Mandela Day: Giving Back to Mankweng Village

On the 18th of July, we at Rakutu had the honor of celebrating Mandela Day by giving back to the community. Alongside our esteemed partners—Coca Cola, the University of Limpopo, and others—we participated in a heartwarming event in Mankweng Village, organized by a dedicated non-profit organization founded by Mama Jane in 2007.

A Community-Centered Initiative

Mama Jane’s organization focuses on catering to the elderly in the community, offering essential services such as feeding schemes and gardening activities. These initiatives provide not only sustenance but also a sense of purpose and community for the elderly residents.

Our Contribution

In line with our commitment to community development and support, Rakutu proudly provided a 12-meter container, transformed into a functional office space and kitchen for the organization. This new facility will enable Mama Jane and her team to manage their operations more efficiently and provide better services to the elderly.

Partner Support

Our partners went above and beyond to make the day special for the elderly. Coca Cola and the University of Limpopo, among others, ensured that the elderly received much-needed health checks and other forms of support, contributing to their well-being and comfort.

A Day of Joy and Community Spirit

The event was filled with joy and a strong sense of community. The smiles on the faces of the elderly, the laughter shared, and the collective efforts of everyone involved made this Mandela Day truly memorable.

We are delighted to share some of the moments captured during the day. These images reflect the spirit of unity, compassion, and dedication that drove the event and will continue to inspire our community efforts.

Conclusion

At Rakutu, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. Celebrating Mandela Day in Mankweng Village was not just an event; it was a reaffirmation of our commitment to supporting and uplifting those in need. We look forward to more opportunities to make a positive impact and encourage everyone to find ways to contribute to their communities.
