Help 1000 young entrepreneurs in Eswatini

In this report, we would like to highlight the outstanding achievements of two entrepreneurs who have shown exceptional dedication and hard work in growing their businesses through our entrepreneurship program. We are proud to feature Ncobile Dvuba and Qiniso Vilakati, who have both overcome significant challenges to establish and expand their businesses.

Ncobile Dvuba, the owner of a successful printing shop, started her business with her savings. She rented an office space and purchased the necessary equipment and stationery to start her business. As her business grew, she reinvested her profits into purchasing more machinery, which helped her expand her services and increase her customer base. Ncobile's efforts to improve her marketing strategies and offer customized printing services have resulted in a significant increase in revenue and customer satisfaction. She has also worked hard to enhance her brand recognition by creating a unique and recognizable brand identity.

Similarly, Qiniso Vilakati, the owner of a popular fish and chips shop, budgeted the amount of money he would need to start his business while still working. He built his shop using offcuts from his home ground and eventually resigned from his job to focus on his business full-time. Qiniso has achieved significant milestones by securing a loan to expand his business to a larger and better location. He has also implemented cost-cutting measures, leading to an increase in profit margins and an improved quality of food and services. His efforts to enhance the customer experience have resulted in higher customer retention and repeat business, ultimately leading to increased revenue.

In the upcoming quarter, we plan to provide our entrepreneurs with more personalized training sessions tailored to their individual needs. We are committed to bringing in experienced mentors to offer guidance and support to our entrepreneurs. We will also encourage our entrepreneurs to network and collaborate with other professionals in their industry, which will help them learn new skills and gain valuable insights into their business operations. Additionally, we will provide access to a wide range of resources and tools that can help our entrepreneurs grow their businesses. We believe that our mentoring program can have a significant impact on the success of our entrepreneurs, and we are committed to continuously evaluating and improving our program to help our entrepreneurs achieve their goals.
