Reaipela Cultural Group

We are arts and culture gateway to sustainable development fostering a balanced and harmonious Ratlou District Society through consolidation of existing pluralism, promotion of creativity and the celebration of arts and cultural values and unity in diversity to inspire and nurture the human spirit through the arts. We produce high quality, affordable entertainment in the elegant Village setting that bring family-oriented live entertainment in a public function facility accessible to those who would otherwise travel out of the community to enjoy similar activities. We are on a mission to deliver life-changing opportunities using arts, culture and technology to affirm the socio-economic dimension of development to those who need it the most. We advocate for rural non-profits to move beyond the traditional norms and customs of doing business by being able to leverage with the best in the world through the power of arts, culture and technology. We aim to consistently advance development for individuals of all ages and non-profit organisations of all types through the power and use of technology for arts and culture development.
