ikhaya le Langa

Ikhaya le Langa NPC unlocks the potential in townships by creating sustainable black spaces, the organisation is situated in the Langa Quarter, Langa, South Africa’s first planned township. The Langa Quarter is the first Social Enterprise Precinct(SEP) in South Africa and has been growing sustainable tourism businesses, underpinned by a cleaner, greener, safer, ‘partnership’ approach. The Langa Quarter is creating multiple employment and business opportunities in a community, which for generations languished at the bottom of the apartheid racialised social order. The Langa Quarter is gaining widespread attention and talks are underway with a number of communities in South Africa and the US who are interested in initiating this replicable SEP model. Our philosophy, ‘sustainable people make sustainable communities,’ lay at the heart of who we are and what we do; be it our principles, activities and programmes.
