Meet Busisiwe Selinah Beka from Morgenzon, Mpumalanga, who turned her dreams into reality through the Social Employment Fund (SEF). Joining SEF in September 2024 gave her the opportunity to save for an electric stove and start a small baking business from her home. Her baking now generates extra income, helping her move closer to her goal of opening a bakery. Inspired by SEF workshops, she also established a vegetable garden, harvesting onions and peppers. Instead of selling them, she chose to donate her produce to families in need, showing her commitment to uplifting her community. “Thank you, Seriti and SEF, for helping me pursue my baking dream and earn extra income,” says Busisiwe. “I hope to recieve business training to improve my savings and better manage my time.” Busisiwe’s journey demonstrates how support and determination can create lasting change. #SocialEmploymentFund #SocialEmploymentNetwork2024 #WorkForCommonGood #EmpoweringLives #SEF #WorkLearnGrow #WLG #Seriti #Agriculture #Development #Sustainability #CommunityDevelopment
