Knysna, Sedgefield, RheenendalFive Knysna restaurants made a decision to become part of a countrywide project to support street children in South Africa! We would love to have representation in Sedgefield, Rheenendal, Buffalo Bay, Brenton on Sea and at least 2 more restaurants in Knysna!

Well done and hats off to Chatters in Gray Street, The Social Eatery at Knysna Hollow, Caroline’s Bistro and The Bell at Belvidere Manor and Earth & Fire Restaurant at Blackwaters River Lodge!

We need 5 more restaurants to commit to this project for 2019!

At present our beneficiary is the Sinethemba Youth Development Centre. Sinethemba is a drop-in centre for youngsters, in our local township,working with an average of 30 youngsters a day. To name but a few, the centre runs life and social skill programmes, substance awareness programmes and job readiness/job application workshops. They also focus on re-uniting street children with their families and trying to help children who have dropped out of schools to re-enter the education system. Since inception it has rehabilitated close to 170 children back to school. Sinethemba’s core focus is to change the attitude and lives of not just the children at risk, but also their families.

StreetSmart passes on every cent raised at the mentioned restaurants directly to Sinethemba. In 2018 we handed over a cheque of R100 00.00.

For you, the customer, this simply means that we will add R5 onto your bill per table eating.

Browse with us through our Streetsmart photos taken of our staff in the 5 restaurants this week and let us know should you wish to visit Sinethemba or become part of this project!
