We-are-able!

Who are we? Project Gateway was set up as the social outreach arm of the churches in Pietermaritzburg. Our vision is to see local churches mobilised in the areas of Care, Education, and Empowerment, and to provide a model and resource base for the city of Pietermaritzburg and the surrounding communities. Project Gateway also aims to be self sustaining as far as possible and therefore, a number of profit making ventures are in place. These include the sale of crafts made by local people.

Our logo? ‘Wearable’ - The idea is that our designs and styles are both functional and contemporary. ‘We Are Able’ - Our goal is to provide people with the opportunity to make a difference. Consumers are able to impact the lives of the crafters by purchasing their products, and the crafters are able to improve their standard of living by creating quality merchandise which appeals to a wide market.

Project Gateway trains crafters in the principles of running a business through free courses that participants can attend, which provide a network for the craft makers as well as tools to aid in marketing their products.
