As an ecosystem builder with linkages across some African countries, THUD’s philosophy is that to build and contribute positively to the economy of any country, one needs to enable entrepreneurs to trade effectively and grow profitably in order to be sustainable enough to employ people. This is their 7th year as a movement and they have seen many come and go over time and they are committed to helping build and grow sustainable SMME’s with a strong enterprising culture.

They are kickstarting the year by engaging in dialogue around the power of collaboration in finance. They have seen what expansion and not inclusion achieves when there’s a clear vision. South Africans build on trust when it comes to stokvels and they have turned that trust into finance for small businessess looking for purchase order funding to fulfill their promise to their corporate or government clients.
