Nomaqhawe founded Ngwenyama Trust with a clear mission—to equip orphans, widows, and other vulnerable groups with basket-weaving skills, providing them with a sustainable source of income.
With the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) opening new opportunities, Nomaqhawe and the 18 women she works with now have the potential to expand beyond local markets and individual expos.
As one of nearly 8,800 women who participated in export readiness training, she gained invaluable insights. Her key takeaways? Enhancing product quality to meet international standards, ensuring compliance with trade regulations, and building a strong network of businesses, retailers, and wholesalers to scale their impact.
