About us

Community-led development, owned and monitored by the households it serves.

Who we are ยท Established December 2024

One community, many hands

Masakhane Empowerment Group (MEG) coordinates community-led development. Households pool limited monthly resources, decide priorities together, attract outside support and deliver projects that none could afford alone.

The logo says it: caring hands around a shared world above a growing tree. We start small, protect what we collect, and grow only as fast as our records and delivery earn.
