Micro-Business Support Programme 2024

Big news from the Entrepreneurship team at Grootbos Foundation! In April, we got 26 business plan presentations from new local micro-business owners. We teamed up with Rotary Hermanus and the Overberg Municipality's Local Economic Development team to pick which businesses will get seed funding and 12 months of mentorship.
