Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment

African Home is a 100% B-BBEE rated in that we are an Exempted Micro-Enterprise. From our inception, African Home has aimed to provide employment and skills development for individuals from historically disadvantaged communities in Cape Town as well as refugees who meet the employment criteria set by the Department of Labour. The majority of African Home craftspeople are men and women refugees from Zimbabwe and local people who live in various townships of Cape Town.

African Home has achieved six of the seven B-BBEE elements:

• Management
• Employment Equity
• Skills Development
• Preferential Procurement
• Enterprise Development.
• Socio-Economic Development

In addition to these, African Home assists where possible in offering interest-free loans to employees with housing and educational needs, and we provide access to a doctor for employees with chronic illness or emergency injuries. We have assisted employees in finding schools for their children, and also assist wherever possible with support documents for asylum seekers.
