About Us

 

 At Cangro, we believe in harnessing the power of competition, repurposed materials, and innovative thinking to cultivate self-belief, foster team spirit, and nurture a strong sense of community. We’re here to revolutionize the way you approach education, personal growth and teamwork.

Established in 2012 and a “proudly South African” innovation, discover Cangro’s extraordinary upside-down tomato plant, cultivated from the base of a repurposed paint can. More than just a plant, it’s an educational powerhouse that sparks curiosity and inspiration. With universal appeal, this innovative creation brings joy to people of all ages and backgrounds, adding a playful touch to homes, classrooms, businesses, and communities alike. Experience the magic of our upside-down tomato and unleash the fun and wonder it brings to your world.

“Creativity is the art of repurposing, transforming the ordinary into extraordinary.” – Maya Angelou

A cool and collected professional who’s all about precision and innovation? With a relaxed and laid-back demeanor, he’s able to approach tasks with a clear head and an open mind. But don’t let that easygoing attitude fool you – his attention to detail is second to none, and he’s always thinking outside the box to find new and innovative solutions. Plus, with a touch of OCD when it comes to planning, you can rest assured that every detail will be accounted for.

Sam

Sam’s contributions are invaluable, and we recognize that without her, we would be lost. Her expertise and attention to detail provide the foundation for our organization’s success. From ensuring the accuracy of financial statements to identifying areas for improvement and implementing streamlined processes, Sam is a true asset to our team.

Over the past few weeks we have seen first-hand the incredible power of the Cangro project, not only in terms of its impact on local school children but on the local community. N1 City Mall has also gained incredible exposure via its association and involvement with the project.
