Rooted in the communities we set out to change.
Machipu Holdings is the outcome of several years of experience in community development and empowerment programmes — and of founders who have operated at the top of global business.
Machipu is deeply rooted in initiatives that address broad skills training, and the establishment and administration of viable Enterprise and Supplier Development programmes that effect real change.
Along with our experienced partners, we possess unmatched capacity and results in helping to reduce poverty levels and unemployment in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The founders of Machipu are renowned business practitioners who have operated at senior and board level in some of the world's leading business enterprises, and bring their global experience to the benefit of local communities in partnership with South African companies committed to bringing about meaningful change.
Our work reaches from rural mining and labour-sending communities to urban centres — through vocational training, agricultural development, enterprise and supplier development, and property and infrastructure projects.
Machipu is fully capacitated, works through accredited delivery partners, and holds an unblemished ethical record.
To increase opportunities for unproductive communities and help end the cycle of poverty — particularly in rural mining, and in urban labour-hosting and labour-sending communities.
Working with partners to drive the development of independent, thriving and sustainable communities.
To establish one of the most trusted and respected training institutions in vocational training and personal development — and to convert that training into durable enterprise, property and agricultural assets held by the communities we serve.
Development · Sustainability · Inclusion
We stay until the community owns the outcome.
We do not arrive with a programme. We arrive with partners, capital structure, accredited training and a delivery team.
Machipu has been in existence for well over ten years. During this period our company has directly and indirectly helped to develop skills and upward mobility for a sizeable number of people, some of whom have grown from junior to executive positions. Machipu has also provided business and financial advice to entrepreneurs seeking to expand their operations.
Machipu has evolved over time but has not deviated from its core objective of human resource development. Our established network in industry, derived from the founders, helps our trainees find placement and our enterprises find markets.
Supported by a specialist technology partner.
Machipu does not sell ICT services or products. From an information, communications and technology point of view, Machipu has the full support of TIDNIC IT & Training Solutions — in existence for more than 15 years, with delivery experience across the telecommunications, manufacturing and renewable energy industries.
That support is what allows our training, agriculture, enterprise development and property programmes to be run, measured and reported on properly.
