TransCape | What We Do

Director / Cinematographer / Editor: Zander Botha 

TransCape is based in the rural Eastern Cape of South Africa, an area faced with a poignant context of poverty, poor health and dysfunctional educational systems, populated by the thriving energy of people who want to live full and healthy lives. 

 The organization was the initiative of Mdumbi Backpackers’ workforce and friends. Together with the medical staff at Canzibe hospital they established an NPO to help the communities of the Nyandeni sub-district to tackle their significant health, social, educational and economic needs. 

TransCape was established in order to assist with the following:Support the hospital to improve its service deliveryAssist people to become active in their communities by participating in HIV/AIDS and health projectsTo take ownership of their resources and gain a sustainable income through tourism and micro-finance projects. 

In 2006, TransCape established an education centre in the Mankosi community to support the local education system and to develop the knowledge and skills of young people to the appropriate national level. Under the microfinance project which was started in 2008, TransCape has offered loans and support to individuals who want to start their own business.
