Short Summary

The Sustainable Brothers is a student-based community-driven organization that consists of individuals from a diverse range of educational faculties such as sustainability, business science, law, the natural sciences and engineering. Despite their diverse range of expertise, they believe in collaborating with one another to achieve their common goal of promoting a sustainable ethos, acting on this way of life by implementing beneficial solutions to combatting the crises that have negative impacts on our planet and affect us all.

The Sustainable Brothers aim to raise awareness of the problems that persist in our current world, and provide innovative and practical solutions to combatting these problems, focusing on collaboration rather than competiveness in bringing about success in their projects.

Their biggest project to date is what they like to call their ‘Secret Garden’, a two-acre student house in the heart of Stellenbosch. They have turned this unproductive piece of land into a productive organic farm. Take a look at this video to see how they accomplished such a project: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMddCU4Rn4M

Other projects they are involved in include recycling collection from various homes around Stellenbosch, and the donations of their organic produce to a particular crèche in the local informal settlement, Kyamandi.

If you would like to see more of what the Sustainable Brothers are doing, or help support them, visit their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/sustainablebrothers and website: www.sustainablebrothers.wix.com/sustainablebrothers. They can also be reached via email (www.sustainable.brothers@gmail.com) if you have any suggestions or would like to collaborate with them on any of their projects.


What We Need & What You Get

As mentioned earlier, we are currently running two major projects - one at our organic farm and the other involving recycling collection. In order for the Sustainable Brothers to be able to expand these projects to more communities around South Africa and potentially the world, and also implement further projects which we are trying put into practice, we unfortunately do require further funding. 

We are merely students with many exciting ideas, however, being students, we lack the capital to successfully implement many of the projects we are wishing to establish. One project we are very eager on implementing is empowering many of the local people in Kyamandi by providing them with the necessary resources to establish their own organic farms, which they can then utilize to provide for themselves and their families, as well as sell to their neighbors in the informal settlement.

If you would like to see an organization collaborate with like-minded individuals and attempt to combat inequality and the environmental crises that face mankind today, Sustainable Brothers has the passion and knowledge to do so with your financial assistance.

All projects are documented on Facebook and Youtube so you can conveniently track our projects and their success online. Our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/sustainablebrothers) has recently been updated with recent photographs of our recycling project in Stellenbosch.

The Impact

Sustainable Brothers eventually wish to possess enough momentum so that their projects can be expanded on to the global scene, making their impact more expansive and transforming the way in which the world operates today into a sustainable world where one's future children and future generations can enjoy the luxuries of life that mankind today can enjoy!

Other Ways You Can Help

Sustainable Brothers can also be helped by the mere promotion of their organization and the ethos they possess and promote. Advertising their impacts and the organization that unites all the sustainable brothers can assist them in acquiring funding from other sources. They also are very much open to collaboration with other organizations and individuals where they exist to establish a platform where like-minded individuals can help and be helped with bringing about appropriate interventions to the problems that the world faces today!
