The power of technology… and how a South African used Facebook and Whatsapp to make a positive difference!

 

Johannesburg, South Africa (12 April 2022) – Good Things Guy partnered with Meta, and over the last couple of weeks, we’ve asked South Africans to send in their feel-good-lekker stories so we could share them with you.

And this week, we’re featuring Naomi Schauer, who used Facebook and WhatsApp to create a kindness movement that connects people to each other, to resources, opportunities and support.

Millions of lives have already been changed in only two years. This is CONECKT!

Listen to the interview here:

CONECKT, which stands for Charitable. Opportunities. Networking. Employability, Connecting Kindness through Technology, is a social enterprise company that uses technology to develop different platforms to connect and network with corporates, donors, charities and NGOs. The focus is on those involved in empowering and uplifting the most vulnerable, marginalised people in our communities. These include children, ex-substance abuse users, the aged, people with disabilities and the neurodiverse population.   

Connections are made, relationships are formed, lives are changed. This is the power of CONECKT.
