At App Inlet, we believe success is not only measured by the work we deliver to clients but also by the positive impact we create in our communities. Giving back has become an important part of who we are as a team, and we make it a priority to get involved in causes that uplift people, protect animals, and preserve the environment.
With teams based in Howick and Cape Town, we’ve built a tradition of supporting local initiatives in both provinces. Whether it’s volunteering, donating supplies, or joining community events, our team members are passionate about making a difference where it matters most.
Supporting Animal Welfare at the Howick SPCA
In 2024, our Howick team dedicated time and resources to the Howick SPCA, an organization that plays a vital role in protecting and caring for animals in our community. Team members spent the day with the animals, giving them love, affection, and companionship — something every furry friend deserves.
Recognizing the SPCA’s urgent need for kennel renovations, we also contributed supplies to support their efforts in creating a safe and comfortable environment for the animals in their care. It was a day filled with warmth, teamwork, and purpose, and it reminded us of the importance of caring for all members of our community, both human and animal.
Supporting Mothers and Babies in Howick
Later in 2024, App Inlet proudly supported the Love Howick Baby Drive, an event themed “Healthy Mom, Healthy Baby.” This initiative focused on educating mothers about the crucial first 1,000 days of a child’s life.
An App Inlet representative attended the event and joined discussions that offered mothers valuable knowledge about breastfeeding, maternal health, and early childhood development. Beyond education, the Baby Drive also distributed 50 hampers filled with essential baby items to families in need.
The event brought together inspiring leaders and organizations, including the Ethembeni Tribe of Hope, Pastor Lindiwe Mncube of the Women’s Leadership and Empowerment Initiative, and Dr. Lungelwa Dlulane, a doctor with more than 12 years of experience. Their combined efforts ensured that mothers were left not only with resources but also with confidence, hope, and community support.
For App Inlet, it was an honour to contribute to a cause that directly impacts the future — empowering mothers and giving babies the best possible start in life.
Caring for the Environment in Cape Town
In 2025, our Cape Town team joined the Two Oceans Aquarium for their beach clean-up initiative at Sunset Beach. With the ocean on our doorstep, preserving the coastline is something we feel strongly about.
These clean-ups move from beach to beach and form part of an ongoing effort to tackle plastic pollution. Our team rolled up their sleeves and got to work collecting litter, all while enjoying a day of teamwork, laughter, and connection.
The clean-up was about more than removing debris. It was a reminder that small actions, when combined, create big change. By protecting marine life and keeping our beaches clean, we contributed to a healthier environment for future generations.
We are grateful to the Two Oceans Aquarium team for organizing such an impactful event and reminding us that each of us has a role to play in protecting our planet.
Our Culture of Giving Back
While days like Mandela Day are an excellent reminder to serve others, giving back is not something we confine to a single day. At App Inlet, it is a principle we carry with us throughout the year.
From spending time with animals at the SPCA, to supporting mothers and children, to cleaning up our coastline, each initiative has given our teams the chance to connect, learn, and grow alongside the communities we serve.
We are proud of what our teams in Howick and Cape Town have achieved so far, and we remain committed to finding new ways to make a positive difference. Whether through partnerships with local organizations, grassroots projects, or initiatives led by our own people, we want to continue building on this foundation of care and contribution.
Looking Ahead
At its core, giving back is about unity, compassion, and the belief that we can all play a role in making the world a better place. For App Inlet, being part of that legacy is both a privilege and a responsibility.
As we look to the future, we are inspired to keep spreading love, creating hope, and protecting our communities — one act of kindness at a time.
