Givology would like to welcome Khaya Cookies (www.khayacookies.com) to our community of individuals and businesses working toward innovative social change!
Khaya Cookies is a true social business that not only produces artisanal and healthy baked goods, but strives to create jobs for the unemployed in South Africa and provide them with baking, financial, and personal skills training to improve their livelihoods. With a distribution center in Philadelphia, Khaya's success also translates into job creation in the US.
Givology's partnership with Khaya Cookies begins today! Givologists may use online code GIVOLOGY to receive a 20% discount on all orders anytime. Best of all, 10% of all sales using this code will go to Givology students and projects. And all this week, Givologists can receive complimentary shipping on orders by using the code FREE.
Some more information from Khaya Cookies:
Khaya (K?-ya) is the Xhosa word for home. Our home is deep in the winelands of South Africa. That’s where we source the best of everything that goes into our cookies. From the farmers who grow the organic fruits we swirl into our cookie batter to the artisan bakers who meticulously blend each small batch, our purpose is to make irresistibly great cookies while supporting and creating sustainable opportunities for the local community.
Khaya Cookie Commitments:
#1 We use only the freshest, finest, all-natural ingredients and no preservatives. All of our cookies are carefully crafted, by hand and with pride.
#2 We are committed to empowering people so that they can earn a living with solid business and life skills.
#3 We hire previously unemployed women and men and turn them into highly skilled bakers. All Khaya Cookie Bakers participate in a Skills Training Program that gives them cross-training in every aspect of the business as well as personal budgeting and debt management.
At Khaya, we put our heart and soul into our artisanal cookies and into our commitment to helping change lives in the townships of Mbkweni in the Drankenstein region of South Africa.
