In the heart of Touwsrivier, a remarkable success story is unfolding. MoreThanMeerAs, in partnership with BVAPD and DGMT, has been empowering individuals to restore hope and contribute meaningfully to community resurgence.

MoreThanMeerAs has recently been awarded Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) status! This milestone marks a significant turning point in our journey, enabling us to amplify our impact and extend our reach to more communities across the Western Cape.

Communities are the essence of society, woven together by shared experiences, dreams, and challenges. Yet, in today’s world, the fabric of communities is facing fraying, leaving individuals, families, and broader society feeling disconnected and disempowered.

We are pleased to report on the positive progress of our partnership with Stellenbosch Business School's Senior Management Development Programme.

As we go about our daily lives, it's easy to overlook the challenges faced by the young people around us.  But the truth is, youth in South Africa are struggling. High unemployment, socio-economic pressures, and prolonged unemployment are taking a devastating toll on their mental health and well-being.

Innovation is the lifeblood of any successful organisation, driving growth, efficiency, and a competitive edge.  Yet fostering an environment where creativity and new ideas flourish is often easier said than done.  At MoreThanMeerAs, we have developed a unique approach to community and individual wellbeing that can also be applied to encouraging innovation in the workplace.

Discover how MoreThanMeerAs facilitated a transformative team building session with Van der Spuy & Partners, a leading legal firm in Paarl. The exercise focused on enhancing team cohesion, communication, and collaboration, essential for thriving in a high-pressure legal environment.

Our organisation was recently approached by students from the Stellenbosch Business School's Senior Management Development Programme, who chose MoreThanMeerAs as the basis for a group project focused on developing a business growth plan for a non-profit organisation (NPO).

We are so thrilled to share that we have a newly-designed website!  This revamped online platform reflects our mission and values, providing a comprehensive overview of who we are, what we stand for, and how we can journey with you to a life of healing, dreaming, and innovating.
