Coffee Training Academy, with deaf students Shandre Napier, Tevin Gordon, Linda Khulu, Khomotso Mofokeng, Thokozani Tshabalala, and George Ika.
We have managed to find three(3) of our deaf trainees with permanent employment at our various client establishments. We are very grateful to Investec bank in Sandton, Empact group in Linbro park, and Barzani group in Centurion for enabling our vision to manifest in this manner.
Johnson has a deep understanding of the deaf community as he grew up with deaf relatives, his drive stems from his martial arts teacher who was deaf as well.
Sonwaro offers free coffee training to Disadvantaged women and GBV survivors. This is solely in hopes of contributing towards alleviating the high statistics of unemployment by empowering them with skills to enable them to be entrepreneurs or acquire work opportunities.
Sonwaro worked with Children of Fire by volunteering and engaging with the kids, guiding and empowering them in order to overcome their low self-esteem. We did so by training 8 children with coffee-making skills. Children of Fire International is a charity based in Johannesburg, South Africa that assists badly burnt children with reconstructive surgery and other post-trauma rehabilitation. The organization also promotes legislation and legal assistance for children who are disabled through burn injuries.
Sonwaro prides itself on serving the community on all frontiers. A token of appreciation was presented from SA defense force for the free services offered by Sonwaro during operation Notlela as their efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19 throughout the national Lockdown.
Despite the effects of COVID-19 rendering business non-operational for Sonwaro, the team from Sonwaro committed themselves to serve the military stationed at various roadblocks with premium roast coffee from as early as 3 am daily.
