Micro Enterprise Development Program

The Micro Enterprise Development Program is aimed at economically empowering the previously disadvantaged particularly people living with HIV/Aids. Women are given preferential treatment as they are in the majority of single parent families. At present the Naitumela Project is spearheading this program, under the leadership of Sheila Wise- Rowe. About 35 women are involved in Zulu Bead work and this number includes people living with HIV/Aids. Jabu Tlhabane coordinates the program and has been instrumental in training the Caregivers and patients at Emthonjeni to create beaded work.
