Our first mission: Hartebeespoort Dam.
Cradl's first mission: contributing toward efforts addressing the water hyacinth crisis affecting Hartebeespoort Dam.
- Water hyacinth is an invasive floating plant that can blanket the dam's surface.
- Dense mats block light and reduce oxygen in the water below.
- Recreation, tourism and local livelihoods are affected when the dam is choked.
- Control work is ongoing — it needs sustained funding, not once-off effort.

The founder
I'm 16. And I don't want to wait to make a difference.
Cradl started with a simple idea: what if something as ordinary as buying and selling baby products could help create something extraordinary? I'm building Cradl because I believe young people don't have to wait until they're older to contribute something meaningful. I can't solve every problem in South Africa. But I can build something that helps people come together, generate resources and tackle problems one community at a time.

South Africa doesn't need more people waiting for change.
Sometimes change starts with something as simple as selling something you no longer need.
