Unlock Potential
The M&S program helps us to identify entrepreneurs who are committed and have the potential to make a meaningful economic impact in their community.
These entrepreneurs form a selection pool for the Accelerator program.
Our overall goal is to help businesses professionalize and grow, such that they become generators of substantial economic activity, create jobs and increase the economic support to the owner and their household.
Our Accelerator programs combine a variety of support strategies to ensure success:
- One-on-one and group mentoring
- P2P support networks
- Grant capital
- On the ground support

This is what our entrepreneurs say about the impact of the Accelerator Programme

I am so excited, you have changed our business to the next level. My life has changed since I have you.
The biggest impact on myself is to communicate with my employees on how we should treat our customers to get them to come back. Sister Xolile taught us how to keep customers and how to do follow ups.

I was somebody that gave up. Everything was fallen. Now my head is up, I have confidence. My life has changed so much.
Before the programme my business was struggling a lot. I even thought of closing the business. I used to struggle to make R 3 000. Now I make R 10 000 a month at least.

I was stealing from my business, I was eating the profit. Now I am able to grow it. The business was stuck, and I was unaware. I was not able to make any changes and it was not able to sustain me.
My life has changed so much. Now I am focused! I used to lose hope but now I am hopeful. I see that anything is possible.
