Day 0 of Our August Work Tour
In the northeast of South Africa, about 500 kilometers from Johannesburg, something remarkable is taking shape. Not just a project – a movement. A movement of hope, collaboration, and sustainable transformation. BOOST The World South Africa is no longer just a dream – it’s alive, growing, and inspiring. And you can see it in our latest video: “Resilient and Sustainable Infrastructure – August Work Tour ‘Day 0’.”
This video marks the beginning of a new phase. Day 0. The moment where everything comes together: the preparations, the people, the vision. It’s the starting point of a work tour that builds not only physical infrastructure, but also bridges between communities, generations, and continents.
From Vision to Action
BOOST The World South Africa actively contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030. In this phase, the focus is on improving food and water access, and creating safe, functional spaces for community development.
A beautiful example is the donated kitchen units. These were carefully renovated, repaired, and cleaned before being transported to their destination in Acornhoek – a journey captured in a compelling time-lapse showing the drive from Thornybush to the site.
Building Together
Upon arrival, the real work begins: preparing the space, unloading the cupboards, planning the kitchen layout, and shopping for hardware. Volunteers roll up their sleeves, sanding walls, painting, and carefully designing the kitchen space. Every detail matters.
In the video, a young volunteer introduces himself: “Hello, I am Noah. I’m a volunteer here and I’m helping build this center.”
His smile and dedication say it all. This is not just a construction project. It’s a place where young people learn, grow, and contribute to their community.
Between Elephants and Ideals
In the evening, around the campfire, volunteers are quietly observed by curious elephants. A magical moment that reminds us how deeply connected people and nature are here. It’s a gentle nudge that sustainability is not just about buildings — it’s about harmony with the environment.
Why Your Support Matters
BOOST The World is building a future where children can go to school with full stomachs, where young people gain skills to shape their own futures, and where communities become resilient against drought and poverty. But we can’t do it alone.
Your donation helps us:
- install more kitchen units,
- drill a sustainable water source,
- create workspaces for young people like Noah,
- and strengthen the infrastructure for long-term impact.
Watch the video. Let it move you. And join us.
Day 0 is just the beginning. Together, we can build a world where love, care, and wisdom are the foundations of real change.
