After SONA 2026, conversations about infrastructure and service delivery continue.

Community action plays a role. But long-term water security requires capable public systems.

Civic energy must complement, not replace, institutional responsibility.

Voluntary action is not outside the system - it’s embedded within it. In our February newsletter, we explore:
- Volunteering as social infrastructure
- Why coordination is a public function
- Lessons from Charlotte Maxeke Hospital
- Volunteer burnout as a system indicator

Today is #WorldNGODay!

A table, bread and neighbours.

Breaking Bread in the City is the gathering in Maboneng Precinct, where artists, business owners, car guards, and local residents meet to share stories and imagine the city we can build together.

At one of the #G20SouthAfrica sessions, Gill Bates reminded us: no single sector can solve the interconnected challenges facing the Global South.

Philanthropy must not just fill gaps - it must help reshape systems.

How do we build partnerships that drive real change?
