🖤✨ A LEGACY BUILT IN OUR COMMUNITY — 10 YEARS OF BLAQPEARL FOUNDATION ✨🖤
Take a look at our feature in the Plainsman, highlighting Blaqpearl Foundation’s journey, legacy and impact in the Mitchell’s Plain community. 📰❤️
For the past 10 years, Blaqpearl has been more than an organisation — it has been a platform for hope, opportunity, creativity, skills development and empowerment.
From creating opportunities for local artists and creatives, to supporting young people through skills development, training, mentorship and safe spaces, Blaqpearl has continued to plant seeds of change within our community. 🌱
As we celebrate 10 years of Blaqpearl Foundation, we don't only look back at where we started — we look forward to what we can build for the next generation.
10 years of service.
10 years of resilience.
