Reforge Consulting

Established in 2017, Reforge Consulting is a social enterprise driven to maximise our positive impact on society and the environment. We work across South Africa, collaborating with community-based organisations that support people living in impoverished and under-resourced communities. Reforge uses its diverse expertise and experience to help in the design, monitoring, and evaluation of social interventions, with a particular interest in strengthening education opportunities for children. This includes facilitating investment in suitable infrastructure, including structures that have lower carbon emissions, to address historical infrastructure backlogs. Reforge Consulting’s Founding Director has participated in several ‘eco-builds’ in informal, township, and rural communities in the Western Cape, Gauteng, and Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa. These include providing building solutions that have lower carbon emissions through the use of fire-resistant Biomass-Recycled Insulating Concrete (BRIC) panels, plastic bricks, straw bales, rammed earth, recycled tyres, and re-purposed fibreglass structures.
