Lumkani is a mid-sized IT services and consulting company based in Cape Town, Western Cape. It focuses on improving safety and financial security in informal settlements by deploying a networked fire-detection system across communities. The system is paired with inclusive insurance offerings provided in partnership with Hollard Insurance Company Ltd, helping residents protect assets and recover after a crisis. This approach aims to create a community-wide defense against fires and reduce disaster impact on families. Its core customers are residents of informal settlements who lack access to critical services like fire alerts and affordable insurance, and Lumkani positions itself in the IT services and social impact space as it expands from its Cape Town origins to a national footprint. A notable recent development is a collaboration with Heineken NV in 2023 to donate and install fire alarms in over 700 homes in the Sicelo informal settlement in Midvaal, Gauteng.
