As a sustainable community tour operator, we are committed to the
providing ongoing support to the people and businesses within the
communities we operate. This means everything from ensuring fair
margins and commissions, to helping folks set up with online
experiences & websites.
The COVID-19 Pandemic has created a scary situation for many of
our suppliers, especially the home-based ones who rely on a daily
income to run their households and businesses. These small providers
are the foundation upon which our entire industry sits on and we rely
on them now and increasingly so for the foreseeable future. Many of
these businesses are run by single moms, pensioners and family members
like The Bo-Kaap Cooking Tour for example, which has been around for
15 years and has become a pillar of strength within the community of
Bo-Kaap. These businesses are all on 'survival mode' right now with
harsh mandatory lockdowns and curfews imposed by the government as
part of their COVID-19 response. We don't know when things will change
or when government relief funding will be made available but if
financial assistance doesn't arrive soon, many of them will either
close or stagnate as people start finding other sources of income to
survive the Winter.
We are appealing to you for monetary contributions to help avoid
this. Even a small contribution will help us pay staff or simply keep
the power and internet going for another month. The Rand exchange is
quite favourable right now against most major currencies so your
donation will go far. Our intention is to assist about a dozen
community guides and businesses with up to $2000 to put towards their
operations. We've set a target over 2 month as a portion of the funds
raised will be put towards helping business to get their experiences
online with virtual tours and live experiences.
Please click on Donate Now to make a contribution. You can also
use the notes field to include a message for a specific business or
local guide if you have one, we'll make sure they see it.
We'd like thank you for your valued support and wish you and
your family health, strength & patience during this difficult time.
With warm regards,
Zaki
