Kwantu is a Cape Town based social enterprise. Our name comes from a Xhosa word meaning 'Place of gathering'.  We specialise in helping NGOs and Governments to use software to manage key processes in their programmes and operations. This approach makes it easier to collect, analyse and present data for management, learning and evaluation.

We work in partnership with you on funding proposals or as part of a consultancy to implement systems that improve the effectiveness of your work. Our work is guided by the following values:

- Social development specialists. We work exclusively with NGOs, Governments, Donors and others involved in delivering social projects. This focus brings us expertise and experience that save you time and money and enable us to bring real benefits to your work.
- Long-term partnerships for social change. Social change takes time. We build capacity to use information communication technology through long-term partnerships. We believe this will translate into greater impact in our partner’s work.
- Clear communication. We recognise that technology can intimidate. We listen patiently and communicate clearly, avoiding the use of technical jargon. We commit to respond promptly and professionally at all times.
- Process leads technology. We focus first on understanding and documenting the key processes in your work. These help us understand if and how technology can be layered on top to increase impact.
- Open innovation. We collaborate openly with partners to develop innovative responses to big challenges. We translate this innovation into easy to use products that help our partners solve pressing problems in their work.
- Building world-class software in developing countries. All our software is designed, developed, tested and hosted in developing countries. This keeps us rooted in the context where our partners work and supports our commitment to social development.
