Expo & Business Summit 2018

We would like to thank The Entrepreneurs Network for providing members of The Hub with sponsored tickets to attend 2018 Expo And Business Summit from November 19-23, 2018!

Our members learned valuable lessons about the relationship between education and entrepreneurship among other things.

Here is what Hub volunteer Thabo Mohloboli had to say about his experience at the Expo:

“Sitting in a classroom you will not receive as much of an education,  as someone who goes out to learn formally and informally. More than anything, education is training of your mind everyday. As I view things that are happening in our country, education and entrepreneurship need to work together to support each other, support of entrepreneurial spirit. That’s when things can work better for our economy. Entrepreneurship education should be an important part of economic development and competitiveness in Lesotho.”

Thanks also to Selibeng sa Thuto Trust for supporting our travel to educational opportunities like this.

 

Social Enterprise Academy Pitch Day

We would like to thank Social Enterprise Academy South Africa and Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa for inviting The Hub to partake in this year’s series of workshops on Non-Profit Sustainability and Income Generation at No.7 Restaurant & Kick4Life Hotel & Conference Centre! We had fun wrapping up the series on November 22, 2018 when we, and our classmates, had a chance to pitch our Social Enterprises to a panel of judges. We’re looking forward to putting all the lessons learned into action!
