What do we do
No-Stone in a Nutshell
Welcome to The No-Stone Foundation, where community empowerment and positive transformation are at the heart of everything we do. With a relentless commitment to nurturing growth, knowledge, and well-being, we proudly present a snapshot of our dynamic projects and partnerships:
Feeding Scheme – Nourishing Futures: No-Stone is doing its part to ensure no one goes hungry. Through a collaboration with Daily Bread Feeding, we provide essential nourishment to approximately 350-500 school goers and elderly members of our community. This partnership fosters health and vitality for a brighter tomorrow.
Computer Literacy for School Goers: Partnering with the Learning Empowerment Network, No-Stone is equipping school goers with essential computer literacy skills. We believe that access to technology is a pathway to a world of knowledge and opportunities.
Reading and Remedial Reading Programme: No-Stone embraces literacy through a collaboration with the Nalibali programme. We are dedicated to supporting young minds, nurturing a love for reading and learning among our youth, and building a strong foundation for lifelong success.
Sewing Classes – Stitching Dreams: Within the walls of No-Stone House, we offer sewing classes that empower individuals to bring their creative visions to life. With 7 sewing machines, we provide hands-on skills and foster a sense of accomplishment.
Woodworking Skills: Crafting Excellence: The No-Stone Foundation’s woodworking program enables participants to hone their craftsmanship and creativity. Through hands-on experiences, we are shaping skilled artisans and fostering a sense of pride in their work.
Building a Community Library – Unveiling Knowledge: In our unwavering commitment to education, we are embarking on the journey to establish a community library. This space will be a sanctuary of learning, where minds can explore, imagine, and grow.
Dance for School Goers: Expressing Joy and Movement: Through our vibrant dance program, school goers have the opportunity to express themselves, stay active, and discover the joy of movement. It’s a celebration of self-expression and unity through dance.
Community Garden Training Venue: Cultivating Sustainability: No-Stone’s community garden training venue is a hub of growth and sustainability. We believe in nurturing green thumbs and empowering individuals to cultivate their own nutritious produce.
Weekly Shop for Donated Clothes – Providing Essentials for All: Recognizing the essential need for clothing, No-Stone offers a weekly shop for small contributions. The people of our village can access quality clothing without financial strain, ensuring that everyone has access to basic necessities.
Radio Kalbaskraal – Amplifying Voices: We are excited to announce the upcoming launch of Radio Kalbaskraal in collaboration with WRFM. Once licensing is secured, we will broadcast from No-Stone House. Our aim is to establish a community radio station that covers local events and broadcasts live from some of them. Radio Kalbaskraal will be a platform for sharing stories, news, and connecting the community.
Our impact doesn’t stop here. We extend our reach through meaningful collaboration:
- Animal Rescue Collaboration: Compassion in Action: In partnership with two dedicated animal rescue organizations, we extend our compassion to the animal kingdom, promoting their well-being and safety.
- Online Mentorship Programme – Guiding Paths to Success: In collaboration with experienced mentors, No-Stone extends its support beyond physical boundaries. Our online mentorship program provides invaluable guidance, enabling individuals to chart their paths to success, wherever they may be.
- Collaboration with Online Recruitment Company – Connecting Futures: Through our collaboration with an esteemed online recruitment company, we bridge the gap between job seekers and opportunities, facilitating connections that pave the way for brighter futures.
- Creche for Farm Workers’ Children: Nurturing Tomorrow’s Leaders: We support a creche that cares for the children of farm workers, ensuring a nurturing environment where young minds can thrive.
- Sports Programmes: Fostering Team Spirit: Through sports, we instill valuable life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and determination. Our sports programs promote holistic growth and well-being.
These initiatives are just a glimpse into the dynamic tapestry of The No-Stone Foundation’s efforts. We are also proud to launch ad-hoc projects each month, addressing emerging needs and challenges head-on. Together, we are shaping a community of empowered individuals, fostering a brighter future for Kalbaskraal and beyond.
