JC Moloto Solutions was born of a community feeding, under the leadership of Charnice Blaauw. Charnice, born and bred in Steenberg, a poor district of Cape Town (strictly economically speaking!), knows exactly the hardships of her community Steenberg.
People from her community struggle to access adequate jobs with good working conditions. May it be the youth who can’t present themselves in CVs and job interviews, or adults who are unable to get their small business going. Yet they are extremely motivated!
The disadvantages simply stem from a lack of skills and knowledge that underserved communities are cut off from. These skills can be provided… by JC Moloto Solutions! That is how JC Moloto Solutions, after many years of under-the-radar engagement, came officially to life in 2021, deriving its name in hommage of the founder’s deceased father. As the proud founder and director of JC Moloto Solutions, Charnice is on a mission to make waves, not just ripples, in the realm of social change.
I never loose. I either win or learn.

Our team & supporters
Charnice Blauuw
Founder of JC Moloto Solutions
Charnice is a dedicated woman from Steenberg, having been exposed to the struggles of her community from a young age.
After her studies in entrepreneruship, her journey began with working in FixForward, revealing her true calling in empowering others. At this local NGO, she cut her teeth as the assistant to the head, working tirelessly to empower business(wo)men from the townships of Cape Town. Later, as financial steward and operational guru at the Village Care Center, she steeled her resilience with the challenges and rough days of the disadvantaged area she was serving. And, despite facing a period of illness that left her bedridden for two and a half years, she continued to assist those in need, from feeding the hungry to offering consulting services. As she recovered, she founded JC Moloto, aimed at reaching a broader and wider community.
Through her remarkable journey, this young woman has proven that even in the darkest moments, the power of passion and determination can drive us forward.
