I have just visited Siki’s Koffee Kafe in Khayelitsha. I came across him and his story on Thundafund when I was looking at current crowdfunding campaigns that were taking place. Siki’s story is such an inspiring one and I knew that I had to meet him.
Check out Siki’s Crowdfunding campaign
Sikelela Dibela has always wanted to make a difference in the community that he grew up in, Khayelitsha. Even though he never matriculated from school Siki had amazing drive which resulted in him moving up from a Vida Cafe dishwasher to store manager, whilst he was completing college. His drive and tenacity saw him being chosen to work in London for two years training new staff.
Siki explained that going to London was a major eye opener and part of his inspiration to come back home and really make a difference. Meeting Siki was a reminder for me that perseverance and hard work pays off and I believe that Siki is on an amazing journey to not only be a personal success but to take his community along the journey.
I am making a plea to everyone to check out Siki’s crowdfunding campaign and to contribute to his story. He is looking for a dream goal of R90 000 in order to get a mobile coffee machine and a vehicle in order to increase his reach. His tipping point is R30 000 and he is currently at R15 560. So halfway to the tipping point with 23 days to go!
To Learn more google him or better yet go and visit Siki’s Koffee Kafe.
