Empowering Entrepreneurs, One Step at a Time

Last week, our 2025 Entrepreneurs started their journey with the Greenlight Movement, a tool that helps track their growth and progress throughout the year.

Meet Sandisiwe. She used to cook her afval stew on a fire, which was tough in rainy weather. Thanks to her hard work and support from the programme, she’s now cooking with a stove and new pots, making her popular stew business even better this winter!

The group also had a visit from Nedbank, who shared helpful info on different bank accounts. Some of our entrepreneurs even opened their first Business Bank Accounts, a big step forward!
