The Next Step Centre in Khayelitsha is a community hub focused on empowerment and growth, offering workshops in education, wellness, and skill-building.
Concept overview
Rebrand and Web Design project
Created for the NOW NOW competition, The Next Step Centre is a sustainable community hub designed to empower Khayelitsha’s residents through education, skill development, and economic support. Built from repurposed shipping containers, the centre offers dynamic spaces for workshops, wellness programs, and artisan-led markets. It aims to foster self-sufficiency, entrepreneurship, and environmental sustainability, transforming Spine Road into a beacon of community-driven development.
Our vision
Our vision is to create a thriving, inclusive community where every individual has the opportunity to succeed. We envision a Khayelitsha where stable employment replaces poverty, and where meaningful, fulfilling work empowers residents to use their skills for a brighter future. By fostering creativity, fair resource access, and supportive networks, we aim to make Khayelitsha a model of resilience and progress.
Goals
Provide skill-building workshops and entrepreneurship support to enable residents to generate income, fostering financial independence and reducing unemployment.
Goals
Use repurposed materials, like shipping containers, and upcycling practices to create a resourceful, eco-friendly environment that encourages sustainable development within the community.
