In their own words

Past participants and their organisations

This is feedback on the "Start Your Social Enterprise" Programme, created in collaboration with Dorper Wind Farm for the communities of Sterkstroom and Molteno.

The course really opened my eyes to how important it is to build a sustainable foundation. It has given me the tools to keep pushing forward, even when resources are limited.

Empowering individuals to overcome challenges is at the core of what we do. Every person has a unique story, and mental health should be seen as a vital part of our overall well-being. With the work of Ulutsha Mental Health Foundation, we aim to shift the narrative — helping the next generation embrace their struggles, find support, and know they are never alone in their journey toward mental wellness.

I realised I could turn my business into something that benefits the community. It's not just about making money — it's about making a difference.
