Community Involvement

Spice Design is committed to South Africa and upliftment of its people. We believe that education is a key factor in reducing poverty and improving quality of life for all. With this is mind we sponsor and teach an arts and crafts class once a week at Masakhane. Masakhane is a pre-school that is based in the township Masiphumelele (Site 5) with approximately 150 children under the age of 6 years.

The Grade R children are taught by our designer Amanda Hall, and we provide materials for the classes. Art and crafts are very important in the development of young children. We aim to bring exciting projects to the children that they would not normally be exposed to. The children have created spiders out of pipe cleaners, weaved paper and created large collages. Below are some some photos from one of our ceramics classes - which is a firm favorite with many of the children.

The school is safe environment with easy parking and always welcomes volunteers. There can never be too many volunteer assistants when dealing with young children. Should you wish to find out more or get involved please contact us for more information.
