Rooted in the communities we set out to change.
Machipu Holdings is a South African community development and empowerment company. We build skills, enterprises, farms and land into assets the community keeps.
Machipu Holdings is the outcome of several years of experience in community development and empowerment programmes — deeply rooted in initiatives that address broad skills training, and the establishment and administration of viable Enterprise and Supplier Development programmes that effect real change.
Along with our experienced partners, we possess unmatched capacity and results in helping to reduce poverty levels and unemployment, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The founders of Machipu are renowned business practitioners who have operated at senior and board level in some of the world's leading enterprises.
Four pillars, one purpose.
Every Machipu service line does the same thing from a different angle: it puts skills, income and ownership into the hands of people who have historically been left outside the economy.
