The Bulungula Incubator (BI) is a non-profit organisation which “incubates”  development in four communities in the rural Eastern Cape within the former Transkei. The BI seeks to address in an integrated and systemic way the challenges of  rural poverty through infrastructure, health, education and entrepreneurship.

At the same time, the BI promotes and preserves positive traditional values and structures. It thus acts as a catalyst, partnering with the community, the public sector and civil society to find sustainable solutions and synergies. The BI’s focus areas are education, health and nutrition, sustainable livelihoods (micro-enterprise and agribusiness) and basic services (water and electricity). The venture is funded by corporations, foundations, government and individuals.
