Klipfontein View hosts business seminar

The Care Empowerment Centre recently hosted a leadership and business seminar at the Klipfontein View multipurpose hall.

The seminar saw an impressive lineup of representatives from the Small Enterprise Development Agency, National Youth Development Agency, the office of the credit ombudsman and Solomon Mokua, an entrepreneur and chartered accountant (SA) to share his journey and provide inspiration to the more than hundred people in attendance.

From those who attended, a database of businesses operating around Midrand will be established so that the centre can continue to serve and partner with businesses and equip attendees with information that might help them start their own business and manage their own finances should they be blacklisted.

Mokua, who is a successful entrepreneur advised, “Find a way of exploiting your skills set and do it with joy and pleasure.”

The centre was registered as a non-profit company in May last year, and its vision is to empower the whole person to enable them to create a better life for themselves and for others. It also believes it is time to teach people how to fish so that they can sustain themselves and they will, in turn, lift others up.

The centre’s different departments focus on social care, adult learning and development, leadership development, entrepreneurship, health, counselling, recreation, skills development and support of schoolchildren.

All of their services and events are financially supported by community members and are executed by a team of volunteers who believe in the organisation’s vision and want to make a positive contribution to their community.
