#3of56 - Spoken and Unspoken Word
Spoken and Unspoken Word is an art company that evolves on the basis of opinions, personal, social, political and educational views. It aims to meet the needs of filmmakers, radio & TV shows, adults and school pupils by producing content/service for or with the above-mentioned spheres.
This is a unique entity that promotes poetry and creative written stories through multiple platforms.
Spoken and Unspoken Word hosts and takes part in various poetry events. However, since the outbreak of #Covid19, artists and poets have lost most if not all forms of income. This calls for innovative ideas around supporting artists and artistic organisations such as Spoken and Unspoken Word.

#4of56 - The Sprightly Seed
The Sprightly Seed's positioning statement is: "Every child has the right to have their basic needs met." Furthermore, the organisation believes that by meeting their most basic food security and nutritional needs, they are given the freedom to fully access other developmental opportunities available. This basic needs perspective allows Founder Jade Orgill and her team to provide a sustainable starting block for benefiting children.
Throughout the #Lockdown period, @thesprightlyseed ran a food parcel campaign that saw many families get meals they otherwise would not have had. This was done in collaboration with the @solidarityfundrsa, which is aimed at helping the country cope with the economic side effects of #Covid19. @jadeorgill notes that this calls for more sustainable means of food production. This being one of their main objectives where they help with building and maintaining food gardens in efforts to promote food security. To date, The Sprightly Seed has had over 60 harvests with over 17 000 beneficiaries.
#5of56 - Nabai Foundation
Nabai Foundation strives to find new strategies for dealing with the disempowerment of women and children. Education is one of the tools they use to combat this and ensure that women and children are empowered. Moreover, through their Community Development programme, @nabai_foundation has the potential to make a real and positive change in the communities around them. This is one of the key areas of focus at Nabai Foundation and a source of much success for their Empowerment Organization. Get in touch with them today and see how you can lend a helping hand with this programme.
Nabai Foundation embodies the spirit of ubuntu in many ways than can be numbered. If you want to also lend a hand and help them support more communities and individuals, contact them on the details below:
