Giving back to the local community is important to the Inyati Team. Realising that there are so many areas in which the community needs assistance, Inyati decided to choose one particular project on which to focus their energy.

Themba Hosi Disabled Centre is situated just outside of the Sabi Sand Reserve in an area called Justicia. The centre is a non-profit organisation that receives minimal funding from the local government and is therefore reliant on donations from organisations such as Inyati. Themba Hosi is home to 89 disabled children from the local community, with either mental or physical disabilities including cerebral palsy. The centre is run by 3 very dedicated people, Maggie Makoloi, Andrew Makhubela and Tryphina Makhubela, who work tirelessly - not only in providing for the children’s physical needs but also in trying to improve their quality of life by keeping them stimulated and teaching them new skills.

Inyati assists Themba Hosi by providing monthly groceries to ensure that the children get adequate nourishment. They also source equipment needed eg sewing machines, wheelchairs etc. Inyati guests are encouraged to visit Themba Hosi, many of whom have made generous donations - either monetary, or by sending care packages of old clothing, books, crayons, toys etc.

Inyati would like to thank everyone who has contributed. A special thank you to Mr Hartmut Selbach who recently contributed a staggering R25 000 to Themba Hosi.
