What our clients say

During the six month period, I found OneWorld to be a professional partner providing guidelines and solutions to the benefit of all partners concerned.

The Danish Embassy, South Africa

The standards to which One World hold themselves are exceptional and their ability to leverage their contacts throughout the Benguela Current Commission Member States, engaging with a diverse set of stakeholders in a professional and efficient manner, was a boon to the project and key aspect of its success.

Capricorn Marine Environmental (CapMarine),

“wonderful facilitation of the Theory of Change in the last webinar,”  and “We learned a lot also from you, and I believe we received overall good feedback for the webinar – thanks for your great collaboration, insights and support with the team.”

UNESCO-UNEVOC

“Thank you for the final report and a job well done. It is always a pleasure to work with professionals of your calibre.”

Liana Strydom, Development Planning and Facilitation, City of Johannesburg Municipality

“Belynda is a rare mixture of entrepreneur and human compassion. I guess she is probably best described as being a social entrepreneur, using her considerable talent as a risk-taking capital-raiser to make a difference to the way we live in a world sadly lacking in fresh new ideas. Belynda has built a remarkable team of professional people, but it is her capacity as an entrepreneur that has driven her to raise capital that has been brought to bear on a range of projects, all of which have a significant impact. It is a pleasure to work with Belynda and her team at OneWorld.”
