A Commitment to Social Impact

At Yanni Bistro, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Sow A Seed, a transformative non-profit organization based in Hamanskraal, South Africa, dedicated to poverty alleviation and economic empowerment.

Introduction to Sow a Seed: Empowering Women for a Brighter Future

Sow A Seed is on a mission to provide hope and opportunities to individuals who have experienced the criminal justice system, with a particular focus on female ex-prisoners. Through their restorative program, Sow A Seed offers shelter, support, and training initiatives to help these women reintegrate into society with dignity and purpose.

Restorative Programme: A Path to Rehabilitation

• Shelter and Support: Many female ex-prisoners face rejection from their families, but Sow A Seed provides a safe haven where they can find shelter and support to begin their journey to rehabilitation.
• Training Initiatives: Participants in the Restorative Programme receive training in organic cosmetics manufacturing and arts and crafts, including the creation of beaded jewelry. These skills not only provide valuable opportunities for income generation but also serve as a therapeutic outlet for personal transformation.
• Remuneration and Entrepreneurial Skills: Participants earn income through the sale of the jewelry they create, gaining financial independence. Additionally, an entrepreneurial program equips them with the skills needed to start and manage successful businesses, fostering self-sufficiency beyond the program.

Luxury Beaded African Jewellery Brand: Empowering Women Through Artistry

• Elegance with Purpose: The luxury beaded African jewelry brand under Sow A Seed is more than just a collection of accessories. Each piece represents the resilience and creativity of the women involved in the Restorative Programme.
• E-Commerce Platform: The jewelry crafted by program participants is showcased and sold through the Sow A Seed e-commerce platform. This platform not only provides a marketplace for unique, high-quality products but also directly contributes to sustaining the Restorative Programme.
• Classy, Elegant, and Fashionable: The final products are classy, elegant, and fashionable accessories tailored for discerning customers. Beyond the aesthetics, each purchase becomes a tangible contribution to the social impact mission of Sow A Seed, providing a bridge for these women to reintegrate into society with dignity and purpose.
