Uyanda Foundation: Journey to Steinkopf from the Mother City

Uthando (Love) South Africa and Heart of Cape Town are deeply proud to have sponsored the Uyanda Foundation’s inspiring “Journey of Peace, Love, Happiness, and Compassion” — a heartfelt mission that carried the spirit of the Mother City all the way to the community of Steinkopf in the Northern Cape. Along the journey, the Uyanda Foundation empowered women and youth through capacity-building programmes, shared joy and tenderness with the elderly, nourished the community with warm meals, and distributed clothing to bring comfort during the cold winter months.

We all feel what other people are going through whether we are conscious of it or not.

At a deep level we are all affected by the horrifying and unimaginable tragedy of war, violence and division.

At a distance it appears there is not much that each of can do, but in truth each and everyone of us can act as a “Lighthouse of Love, Kindness and Peace”.

This state of being comes from our HEARTS.

We are all one.

We are all Brothers and Sisters.

With all of our differences, arguments, disagreements and battles we have forgotten that we are all one life together.

Hearts of peace, kindness and love are spreading ...

"In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it can often feel that peace is far away. Let us love, live in peace and be kind to one another ... to make our communities and the world a better place."
Aunty Avril AndrewsFounder of Alcardo Andrews Foundation
"Doing good is the fuel which feeds our soul. It's the essence to our existence and should drive all our goals. Where there is no goodness, love cannot thrive, inviting the presence of hatred vanity, envy, misery and strife. Let us, one by one, connect our hearts and restore our spirit through healing the broken parts. Let us return to the essence of life - goodness and love - which is far, far above everything else, bringing meaning to our conscious self Let us dig deep down into our hearts to summons and ignite that majestic thing called love.

Cheryl HarperFounder - We Can Change Our World
“It has been deeply rewarding for me to be involved in all aspects of the Heart of Cape Town project since its inception in November 2023. What started as a seed of an idea has blossomed into a multi-component campaign that is still growing and developing as we go along, spreading the message of Love, Peace, Unity and Compassion locally and across the globe. The World needs this message now more than ever!"
Lydia van der MerweThe Executive Connection - Virtual Assistant & Project Management Services
“The Heart of Cape Town is more than a message it’s a movement and a clear direction that helps us in tourism connect South Africa’s powerful and uplifting story with the world’s growing need for hope and purpose. For most of our travellers, it’s the people and their stories not just the beauty and adventure that become the true highlight of their visit. Digging deeper into these stories is Cape Town’s superpower, turning a trip into more than a visual feast but into something that is truly meaningful and memorable and ends up feeding the heart.”
