What if a simple bracelet could change someone’s life? In this powerful episode of The Social Impact Show, Samm Marshall is joined by Dalit Shekel, the dynamic CEO of Relate Bracelets, to uncover how handcrafted beads are creating real economic freedom for Gogos and young people in South Africa’s townships.

From a living room in Khayelitsha to global retail spaces, Dalit reveals how a purpose-driven partnership with Ikamva Labantu is rewriting the rules of enterprise — blending dignity, design, and development. This isn’t charity. It’s circular, scalable, and soul-stirring impact.
