Imani Collective

We believe in investing in our artisans, but we also believe in them investing in themselves. We conduct our RISE (Realize Internal Self Excellence) character building program once a week in both the Old Town and Village location. Topics range from personal skills to interpersonal skills. RISE is conducted at the beginning of the work day so that our artisans feel empowered to rise to their greatest selves. This program is interactive and is posted on the Community board weekly so that our artisans can continue to engage with the topic throughout the week and hold their co-workers accountable as well.

We believe children are the future, and we also recognize that they are the present. This program engages our Imani Kids imagination, begin to orient them to English and teaches teamwork in preparation for them to be successful when they start school. This program includes special events like field trips, VBS, English courses, primary school entrance test preparation, and creative crafts + projects.

We believe children are the future, and we also recognize that they are the present. This is why we have established and grown our in-house childcare program and school scholarship programs.We currently have twelve kids ages 6 months to 4 years old enrolled in our in-house Child Enrichment Program in our Old Town location and seven kids enrolled in Mtepeni Village location. This curriculum based program has monthly themes, all four of our Child Care Directors conduct the same curriculum.
