-Our Skhaftin journey started in October 2020 when we decided to convert a school bus into a mobile grocery store providing access to healthy food and promoting plastic-free shopping for our community in the inner city of Jo-burg.
By the end of October 2021 we had to pause for a while realizing that our business model did not work out yet. Many conversations later we are clear where our bus needs to go next - to Kanneymeyer Primary school in Grassypark and its wonderful principal Ridwan Samodien.
They will integrate it in their curriculum, explore the potential of a zero waste business model and we are sure they will use our bus to make a difference in their community.
Now we need your help to drive our bus to Kannemeyer.
As always, we try to turn this journey into learning opportunities - for the entire Skhaftin team and for schools and community projects along the way.
So, I would like to take the entire Skhaftin team of 6 young people with on this trip to give them the exposure and an opportunity to hand over our bus to the school.
We have included all costs to drive the bus from Johannesburg to Cape Town via these 6 stages for the entire Skhaftin team. So, it includes the diesel for the bus, a support vehicle and petrol, accommodation as well as food for the team.
