FOUNDERS OF

The Macademy

The Idea of Shared Value, integrated from company structures all the way to the origin of our product resources. The Macademy is our way of implementing this concept.
Join us in creating impact in every way possible. 

What is the Macademy

It's our dream to bring high quality education to low income learners in rural South Africa - giving the rural South Africans the ability to discover.

Shared Value • Socio-economic revival

What is the Macademy

South Africa has major socio-economic issues, many of these stem from isolated rural communities, with poor levels of education. In order to tackle this, we at the Macademy have set out to bring socio-economic revival through partnering with local communities in order to bring high quality education to rural areas through affordable education hubs. We would eventually like to create shared value between the local community and Maison Macolat. This is done developing high quality Macadamia plantations, within these rural communities, to ensure that there is not only a high level of education, but also a socio-economic hub that gives these communities the ability to contribute to the local economy.

HOW DO WE CREATE SHARED VALUE?

Our Mission

Our Mission is simple:

• Co-develop Macadamia plantations in rural Kwa-Zulu Natal with local communities

• Build high quality, affordable education hubs within these communities
