As an employer of choice in our area, we are committed to providing good jobs, upskilling for advancement and dignified employment. Most of our staff and their families live in the surrounding, deeply rural villages where opportunities have long been limited. So, our efforts to uplift local communities goes beyond being a top employer.
We are also involved in a range of ways to empower local entrepreneurs as they establish thriving businesses to provide financial security for their families, create employment themselves and drive economic development in their communities.
We have recently partnered with The Siyazisiza Trust and Thrve Impact Partners to identify and connect local small-scale farmers to the hotel’s supply chain. Our guests get to enjoy fresh, healthy local produce, while the farmers benefit from having a developed market for their vegetables.
The aim of the partnership is to foster lasting linkages that support food security, skills development, and inclusive growth. The Siyazisiza Trust supports small holders as they develop viable agribusinesses that integrate traditional knowledge while enhancing food sovereignty and community resilience.
