“We in South Africa have ourselves faced hard questions and had to make hard choices in this regard. We know that political freedom alone is still not enough if you lack clean water. Freedom alone is not enough without light to read at night, without time or access to water to irrigate your farm, without the ability to catch fish to feed your family. For this reason the struggle for sustainable development nearly equals the struggle for political freedom. They can grow together or they can unravel each other. Threats to our governments in the century ahead will come from poverty, if anything.”

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm - Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803-1882, American Poet, Essayist 

Alakriti is derived from Alacrity (noun) originating from the Latin alacritas meaning promptitude. Alacrity stresses promptness in response, cheerful and eager willingness, brisk eagerness, agility, appropriate quickness, and implies speed in accomplishing or completing an action. These concepts of brisk, agile and enthusiastic accomplishment underpin the Alakriti service delivery.
