Shopping in Cape Town can be a similar experience to shopping anywhere in the world after all a mall is a mall no matter where you are travelling. That is why we encourage visitors to enjoy the alternative shopping opportunities that Non Profit Community Development and Empowerment projects offer such as Learn to Earn's, Khanya Creations.
Based in one of the biggest South African townships of Khayelitsha just outside the city centre, this is where top quality handmade good are made by people who were previously unemployed. They design and craft items such as ladies shirts, cushions, place mats, handbags and a variety of other gifts. All the products produced have a unique African twist highlighting the vibrancy and enthusiasm of the African spirit.
