Pop in and support our Craft CenterIf you want to just pop in for a toilet break, to buy a bottle of water, or to have a look at our Umoja Craft center - feel free.
If you are coming with a group, and would like someone to show you around- a recommended donation of R 30 per person is a nice gesture, as you are taking the time of one of our staff who we pay a stipend or salary to.... so this contribution helps us to cover our costs and to keep the facility going.
