Success Stories

In the past three years, over two hundred unemployed people have been trained and some have started their own businesses.  One such person is Janine who is running a business on Green Market Square in central Cape Town, where she sells beaded cutlery that she learned to make at The Hope Factory.  She is doing so well that she is already employing some of The Hope Factory's graduates who were her classmates.
 
 
From its humble beginnings in a Plumstead garage, The Hope Factory Cape Town branch now occupies bigger space in more suitable Claremont premises. A second and even larger branch in Port Elizabeth was added this year where over 70 learners will be trained every year for the next three years – as funded by the Department of Labour in the Eastern Cape.
