Waste solutions:

Giving communities what they need

Umphakati is fostering a new socio-economy of recycling among residents in Soweto using social incentives. The incentive is inclusion in a funeral scheme that gives members access to more than R20 000 worth of equipment and catering items needed for hosting a funeral for a loved one. Since funerals are expensive, the scheme is attracting plenty of interest from residents in Soweto. Members receive various benefits in the form of funeral equipment like tents, tables, chairs, gas stoves, pots, mobile toilets, a mobile kitchen and plates in the event of a bereavement.
