INVESTING in initiatives such as education, feeding schemes and urban gardening projects through Local Community Partners (LCP) are steps the Cape Town International Conventional Centre (CTICC) is taking to improve the lives of Capetonians.

“Every three years, community-based initiatives are selected to be part of the LCP Programme through a staff-driven process. While the CTICC provides support and donation in the form of venue hire, catering and goods, staff and stakeholders are also encouraged to work with and volunteer at these LCPs,“CTICC spokesperson Dominic Adriaanse said.

CTICC CEO Taubie Motlhabane said the centre had learnt a great deal about making a measurable impact in under-resourced communities over the past 18 years.

For the next three years, iKhaya le Themba will be one of the LCP Programme partners.

The NGO operates from a campus in Imizamo Yethu, Hout Bay and provides resources for afterschool programmes, home-based care, community pantries, urban farming, and home maintenance.
