Philisiwe Gwala joined Thandanani group in 2019.

ACAT KZN - Helping rural Africans deal with Poverty, Malnutrition and HIV.

Philisiwe Gwala joined Thandanani group in 2019 after hearing the area Community Extension Officer, Ms Goba, explaining the programme. Philisiwe started by making a small garden. Then, after seeing the harvest, her husband helped her to expand the garden because she earned a profit by just selling to the neighbours. Their vision is to sell to other communities as well. She joined the Savings and Loans Group with the aim of expanding her business.

Philisiwe says,
“I also make and sell beadwork and grass mats. I am so thankful to God for the encouragement I got from my CEO to start a business.”
