Description
The Calabash has been a useful item for African communities since time began. A Calabash has been used to nourish, develop and grow people. It has been used to carry water, or grain, to make music as a rattle, or to hold herbs and medicinal compounds. It is flexible enough to be used in many different ways.
Calabash Trust aims to create a holistic operational model of community development which embraces travellers’ philanthropy. The focus is on schools, recognising the value of education in changing our communities and our country. We work with children, parents and educators in disadvantaged communities. Our engagement is through partnerships, creating an understanding of community needs. We recognise our interconnectedness with other organisations.
Company description
This is how the Calabash Trust likes to see itself, and indeed is seen by many of the communities we serve. We are a small, Non Profit Organisation, based in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, with a purpose of working with poor communities based in the urban townships of Port Elizabeth.
Calabash Trust began in 1998 when Marion Gate, who had recently moved to Port Elizabeth with her husband, decided to take a Real City Tour with Calabash Tours. This tour company was founded by Paul and Thandi Miedema in 1997, with the aim of bridging the gap between the affluent side of South African life that most visitors are exposed to and the underprivileged Black African majority.
