What is your biggest success?
Our greatest achievement is the impact we make and the turnout at our events. We host annual events/workshops in Joburg and now in Cape Town as well. We also take great pride in the large financial institutions such as Allan Gray that have been crucial to our impact.
What has been your biggest hurdle?
Our biggest hurdle has been finances, we have not fully registered the entity because we don’t want the annual/monthly tax and cost implications that come with registration as we’ve not been financially sponsored yet, these events have been out of the pocket of our founder and donation of venue from Allan Gray.
It is only after our Cape Town event this year where we began to attract financial sponsorship. Now it is possible to register the business as its own entity to fully run.
Our staff have been serving on a volunteer basis believing in our work and also hold part time jobs until we can generate revenue.
