Madiba Day with Clover Mama Afrika and Unicode Systems
On the 28th of June 2017, Unicode Systems gave them R 5 000 worth of ingredients in celebration of Madiba Day in advance.
Clover Mama Afrika is honoured to have partners such as Unicode Systems that can make a difference for so many.
In this case, it was a special treat for Clover Mama Afrika’s Mama Mirriam Makamu who manages a successful bakery with her fellow bakers in the heart of Tembisa’s Jiyane Section.
On June 28 Unicode Systems gave them R5 000 worth of ingredients in celebration of Madiba Day.
Prof Elain Vlok and Fiona Bergman, General Manager of Unicode Systems, baked vetkoek and milk tarts for brunch, which was an amazing experience.
“This is so special as we as bakers cannot remember the last time we took time out as a team to relax and enjoy a proper tea break. Thank you to Clover Mama Afrika and Unicode Systems. I’m also happy with the new cups, saucers and plates,” said a proud Makamu.
The Clover Mama Afrika project identifies women such as Makamu, who contribute greatly to the advancement of their communities and based on a simple concept – empowering community caregivers with practical skills, which they pass on to others, to earn a sustainable income and better service their communities to improve the lives of people living in poverty.
