The Bhambayi Project has launched an original song and dance to support orphans and vulnerable children in SA; all you need to do is learn this cool dance!

 

Durban, South Africa (19 July 2022) – Each year, the Bhambayi Project comes up with the best Mandela Day ideas and this year, they have outdone themselves! This year, they have written an original song with popular South African artists and choreographed a fun dance to go along with it.

The Bhambayi Project is a registered non-profit organisation that empowers orphans and vulnerable children. Founded in 2007, the Bhambayi Project remains dedicated to transforming the lives of orphans and vulnerable children through relationships and empowerment. There are over 5 million orphans and vulnerable children in South Africa, and their community-based orphan support model supports children within their own communities and family structures, enabling greater reach than the traditional orphanage model.

They primarily focus on Bhambayi, a community in north Durban, with three components dubbed Special Star, which hones in on orphans and vulnerable children; Rising Star for school leavers; and Guiding Star, which orients around guardians and mentors.

“Woza Join Us” is here forever and goes beyond just Mandela Day. It celebrates the unity of South Africa and doing things together.

“Everyone involved in creating this song is excited to hear Woza Join Us over the airwaves for the first time, and to see photos and videos of people participating in our Mandela Day Challenges.

We are hoping that the message of the Woza Join Us song and video, that it doesn’t matter how little you have or how young you are, you can change the world for good, will ignite hope in South Africa this Mandela Day.”

The best part is as the song grows in popularity (that is where you come in), all proceeds will go towards transforming the lives of orphans and vulnerable children in South Africa. The song is available on all music platforms, so you can find your favourite one here.

Take a look at the music video below. You can learn the choreography for the dance to join in here. Sbonelo Bhengu provides an easy-to-follow dance tutorial.
