Our Vision

Angamma’s vision is to build collaboration that will create pathways of hope and opportunity towards a sustainable society that benefits future generations of all cultures.

Our Inspiration

How we got here...

South Africa has rich lands, strong people, good values, powerful traditions, and basically all the resources necessary for a population to thrive...

So, how do we still have over fourteen million people going to bed hungry? Why is the quality of education still depleting? Why is the abuse against women and children still increasing? Why is our environment still degrading? Why is crime still continuously on the rise?

Instead of focusing on whom to blame for everything that has gone wrong, we chose to see an opportunity. We see that through collaboration, connection and cooperation we can co-create a new way that will allow our great-grandchildren to flourish.

With this immense vision, the Angamma team initially focused all its efforts and resources into a single endeavour — Eagle Valley Farm. It consisted of creating an integrated model of development for rural communities to become self-sustaining, revenue-generating villages that are able to provide incomes to support their own needs and dreams.

This endeavour brought us with real understanding of what is needed for community work in South Africa for concrete, valuable change to happen.

It also linked us with capable, dedicated groups and individuals across the nation who can accomplish the collective vision of a better South Africa. Together we are creating a network of people, groups and organisations capable of implementing meaningful actions that benefit communities for the next seven generations.

Our Values

Integrity

We value integrity in all our actions, communications and relationships. We uphold honesty, transparency and loyalty in everything we do.

Compassion

We seek to reach out to those who are in need of a helping hand. Compassion is a value that has been forgotten in the harsh, competitive environment of the 21st Century.
The Angamma team is dedicated to bringing back compassion through teamwork, collaboration and empathy.

Respect

We seek to approach all our interactions with consideration, humility and regard. We give the same level of attention to whomever we come across, no matter where they come from.

Love

This may seem unusual to have as a value in a company, however we insist on letting everyone know that everything we do, we do out of love.
Love for Mother Earth, love for Humanity, love for our great grand-children.
