Training & jobs for 90 unskilled African women

Before attending the SA College for Tourism in South Africa in 2006,
Busi had never travelled outside of Zimbabwe but had many dreams she wished to
accomplish.

After completing her studies at the College, Busi returned to Zimbabwe
and took up employment at the Zimbabwean National Park as a reservation agent.
This is when Busi realized that she did not need to know people in other
countries in order to travel and explore the world.

In 2009 Busi travelled to China for the first time which sparked the
idea to start a small operation of importing goods for resale in Zimbabwe. In
2010 she left the Zimbabwean National Park and realising that the sky was the
limit, Busi started travelling to Dubai, China and Hong Kong to develop her
small imports business, which is now very successful.

After the SA College for Tourism 10-year reunion in November 2010,
Busi returned home to work on her idea of opening a guesthouse which in
February 2011 became a reality when she opened the doors of the Villa Dinne Guesthouse, in Harare
(Zimbabwe) - now also a thriving business!

Busi keeps progressing to achieve the most out of life. She is
currently involved in her guesthouse, poultry farming, the imports business,
selling “forever living” products and more recently opened a nail bar for
ladies.  

Busi made contact with us few weeks ago to explore how she could
support the College, because of her success and out of gratitude for the study opportunity
which so enormously benefited her career and life. A week later Busi pledged an
amount of US$ 500 to the College as part of its Adopt a Student funding
campaign. 

We wish the current students of 2013 all the very best as they
complete their final exams and look forward to the formal pre-graduation dinner
prepared and served by them, as the well as graduation day. We cannot wait to
hear of their successes as they launch their careers in 2014!
