Empowering women through skills development

Founder of the beauty school, Francina Kgopa told BONUS the well-attended event aimed to empower women with practical skills to start their own baking businesses and create jobs.

Kgopa said the initiative reflects her passion for uplifting women through skills development.

“Our goal is to give women the tools they need to succeed and become financially independent.

“Baking is a skill that can be used to create a sustainable income, and we’re thrilled to have shared that with our participants,” she said.
