Oribi Village

The project aims to put township economies at the forefront of economic reset by recognizing their invaluable contribution to society. We are an impact incubator aimed at addressing the triple burden of poverty, inequality, and unemployment, prevalent in peri-urban and rural areas, through social entrepreneurship. Oribi ensures success in our model and solutions by establishing a support system rooted in the largely used concept of cooperatives, "stokvels" or "saving clubs" as critical agencies. This is in order to create new and collaborative ecosystems. We have had 4 cohorts: 1. Social enterprise 2. Food Security 3. Sustainable Tourism 4. Food Systems.
