The Go Group
The Go Group is a Belgotex project with the aim of moving people from dependency to dignity using proven human development practices.
Programmes.
The Go Group is comprised of seven programmes. Each programme was developed alongside occupational therapists, psychologists, and experienced development practitioners. There are no handouts or donations in any of our programmes.
Our programmes all have a core stream of modules related to becoming conscious of why a candidate is stuck. We couple these modules with practical activities to assist the human in increasing their levels of responsiveness to challenges in life. These modules make up The Kickstart Programme.
The aim of the Bursary Programme is to support students who are advancing knowledge in areas important to The Go Group. We identify promising students in these areas and offer funding in the form of bursaries and scholarships.
This programme invests in energetic Early Childhood Development centre owners who are looking to turn their existing centre into a highly rated, financially sustainable business.
We believe that access to local, fresh produce is critical to human development. The primary objective of the Food Security Programme is to turn enterprising community members into competent farmers with commercially viable small-scale farms.
This programme is targeted at people who love to hustle! It is a perfect income opportunity for people trading other goods already and wanting to add good quality rugs to their stores. It is also an ideal opportunity for parents who are needing to trade from home.
CrissCross is our locally designed and manufactured rug range. We have worked with Belgotex to create this range as an alternative to importing rugs to serve the market demand. The artisans who make the rugs are trained and graduate from The Go Group’s Textile Conversion Programme. You can also buy smaller items like handbags and baskets, which are items made by Go-Getters at home because they are easy to transport and do not need to be manufactured at The Go Group’s premises. All the products are made from Belgotex yarn that meets international standards. There are two product ranges – a smalls range and a large range.
The Floorcovering Programme trains candidates to become installers and contractors in the floorcovering industry. The aim of the programme is to work with candidates to develop the skills required to establish and run a viable flooring business.
