Janna Couto

Fourways CAN

Janna entered our lives through CONECKT with the newly started Fourways CAN (Community Action Network). This wonderful initiative was a call to citizens of South Africa to harness resources and lend a hand during the COVID lockdown pandemic. Jenna runs her own business, is a wife and mom, and rose to this occasion. She has provided relief to many in her own community of Fourways and surrounding areas, providing food assistance and work opportunities, assisting a local School Academy, and linking with Organisations to harness resources and place them where needed.

Through Janna, we have received the most incredible donation of Tablets from Africawide towards our Computer Literacy Program. A tool much needed for the beneficiaries in our community as the age of digital access and knowledge grows. Janna exudes the wonderful characteristic of tenacity and approaches her projects with much determination that nothing is impossible. We have also been able to participate in her online campaign to support local entrepreneurs with the sale of their goods through our range of Yum-elicious gift items for 67 minutes Mandela Month challenge. Thank you for your continued support Janna, we salute you and see great things ahead as you strive to make a difference wherever you can – pun wholeheartedly intended.
