By prioritizing the well-being of employees, companies foster a positive work environment that enhances productivity and retention.

We started a small free "take a book, love a book, leave a book" community library in 2024, it is a much needed, used and valued asset in our rural landscape, where the closest town is 50 minutes away and there is no transport available. We are giving our community the gift of experience through story.
Kraaibosch Come-Unity Library
We host various workshops and events for our local community - sports tournaments, music, arts, movement and performances, indigenous forest guided trails, karaoke, dj workshops, N|OM (San Collective Healing), indigenous knowledge shares and much more planned. We also aid our youth through mentorship, assistance in applying for and funding for further studies, as well as expanding employment and entrepreneurial horizons through our intern program and beyond.
Community Workshops and Development
Living in a small rural community comes with its systemic challenges - systemic inequality, land claims, afrophobia, lack of opportunity, generation trauma, alcoholism. We are on the frontline working with indigenous healers, knowledge keepers and builders with and for the community, in order to heal generational and systemic trauma and inequality and work towards building a peaceful and abundant future for the next seven generations.

What we're up to
News and Views
202Free
It's 202free and we have been so busy we almost forgot that we are celebrating our first year of abundance! We launched today 2022 and we are so proud of all we have achieved.
Community Outreach
Grow Community Grow firmly believes that we need to start acting for a better future, how our brand behaves has impact on our communities.
Our Goals for 2022
As a start-up we know that small teams and big dreams take time, so we've divided our year into bite size chunks to get ourselves going, here's a bit about what we're planning.
Where it all Began
Grow Community Grow was born on the border of Limpopo and Botswana on a volunteer mission at a counter-poaching unit. A brave start to a big idea.

For now all our corporate work brings in the money, and sustains the dream of creating sustainable abundance around us.
We’re in the process of sorting out our PBO’s and Section 18A’s, but SARS is sometimes too SARS, and it’s a process at this point, we’re pushing through, and in the meantime not letting it get in the way of the mission.
If you’d like to help our empire grow faster, empower more people and reach more communities, without the tax write off, or just think this is a cool idea and want to donate to the Regeneration Center email cami@growcommunitygrow.org or donate directly:
