We are proud members of Pack for a Purpose, an initiative that allows travelers like you to make a lasting impact in the community at your travel destination. If you save just a few kilos of space in your suitcase and take supplies for area schools or medical clinics in need, you’ll make a priceless impact in the lives of our local children and families.
Conservation: HERD Elephant Orphanage – view the wishlist here
School: Jameyana Primary School (Mpisi Primary School merged with Jameyana Higher Primary school to form Jameyana Primary School)
Clinic: Hlokomela Clinic
Please click here to see what supplies are needed for our projects.
Jabulani partnered with HERD and Jameyana Primary School to help develop and grow the school’s gardens and sustainability projects, while implementing a nutrition programme, and also focusing on sharing awareness and knowledge about elephant conservation through different lessons and art projects. The school is in need of basic essentials such as pens, rulers, art supplies, class supplies, library books, computers and other equipment.
Each month, we join HERD Trust to donate supplementary Nkosi Super Bars for school. Jabulani sponsors the cost of around 1700 bars a month for the Grade R students. Through this, we assist in the physical and mental well-being of the school children during a critical time in their lives. The bars contain essential macronutrients crucial for the development of children under the age of six. Many of the students here will have their only meal of the day at school, as they come from impoverished homes where parents can’t always provide adequately for their families. Read more >
Jabulani also supports Hlokomela Clinic, an award-winning HIV and AIDS educational and treatment programme centre, that was initially built to support the local farming community. They have expanded to assist surrounding communities too, also helping seasonal workers and migrants from other countries such as Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and elsewhere in Southern Africa. Guests that would like to donate goods to Hlokomela, please let us know and we can pre-purchase products to take on a visit to the clinic or to drop off on our guests’ behalf. Guests are also welcome to leave old clothes behind that can be donated to the clinic.
We believe that looking after our planet has many sides to it, including managing our human consumption and production. That’s why we believe in using fresh seasonal ingredients in our kitchen as much as possible to limit our dependence on external fresh produce suppliers. We do this by growing our own produce onsite with our innovative aquaponics system that combines aquaculture and hydroponics.
We built Jabulani on the foundation of rescuing and reintroducing orphaned elephants to new herds. This can be tricky, as elephants decide whether they accept a new elephant to their herd. However, over the past 20 years, we’ve successfully reintroduced orphaned elephants into new herds.
