The Kaloba® Quality Assurance
Schwabe has decades of experience in the manufacture of special extracts. Not every preparation containing Pelargonium is also valid from a phytotherapeutic point of view. The Schwabe-owned EPs®7630 in Kaloba® has been extensively proven in numerous clinical studies.
Kaloba® contains the patented active ingredient EPs®7630 extracted from the roots of the plant, Pelargonium sidoides. This perennial desert plant finds perfect growing conditions in South Africa and exclusively grows in a very limited area. After three years of growth, the active ingredients in its roots are optimally mature. Given that, a careful and sustainable wild collection is required, in addition to cultivation, for harvesting the plant. Wild collection is carried out exclusively by trained local collectors under strict sustainability criteria. The cultivation of Pelargonium sidoides takes place on special farms under strictly controlled cultivation methods.
As another advantage of this complex refinement and enrichment of the active ingredient, it ensures a specific amount of relevant constituents and removes undesirable substances.
The Umckaloabo® Foundation
The Schwabe Group is active in the region where Pelargonium sidoides grows, and not only as a dependable sales partner via qualified contractors. The company’s Umckaloabo® Foundation also promotes educational opportunities for children and young adults.
With the support of the Schwabe Group, the Umckaloabo® Foundation has been dedicated to a broad spectrum of educational projects in southern Africa ever since it was first founded in 2010.
Its goal is to create future perspectives for children and adolescents. Having an empowering high-quality education is an indispensable part of this goal. After all, a solid educational background paves the way to a life in which people can take control of their future and make the most of their opportunities.
In 2010 the Foundation and its partners financed the construction of the Nelspruit Scout Center in Mpumalanga province in South Africa; this gave Scouts a place to pursue many different extracurricular activities.
Since 2010 the Umckaloabo® Foundation has been financing different elementary and secondary schools in Malawi, South Africa and Zambia in conjunction with its partners on site. It has accompanied them on a long-term basis to ensure that the schools can sustainably offer a good education.
Every year, Africa Runners raise considerable amounts of money with which the Foundation finances a school in southern Africa by underwriting measures such as new classrooms, extensive renovations or even building an entire new school, as was the case at the St. Francis and Clare school in Lusaka, Zambia.
The Umckaloabo® Foundation also created a scholarship program to help a young people from very poor families receive a secondary-school education.
After the success of the scholarship project in Malawi, the focus is now on scholarships to the St. Francis and Clare School.
The Foundation also works with the Samara Foundation to establish and operate preschools in South Africa so more children can have a positive opportunity to develop and thrive at an early age.
In addition to providing contemporary child-friendly settings, special focus is placed on networking and training the teachers.
