What's this trip about?

    Masicorp, a community organization that operates out of Masiphumelele, was created to help the township live up to its name. Masicorp spearheads education initiatives and investment in enterprise so that the people there can improve their lives. Masicorp has been around for more than 14 years and in this time has built a trusted relationship with the community. Among Masicorp’s many achievements is the construction of a library and education resource center that offers free educational programs to the public. Masicorp’s approach is to work alongside the people of Masiphumelele, asking them how they need support and providing them with the resources to succeed.
