Moving into Tiber's Building in Village Deep

Well, the highlight of our past month has certainly been starting to run our programmes from Tiber's building in Village Deep!

The next phase in our use of the building is setting up a Construction Career and Enterprise Development Centre. We would love for you to be part of this development and invite you to complete our market research questionnaire. Let us know how we can best serve you! This questionnaire is targeted mainly to small businesses, a separate one for students and young professionals will be sent out soon.

CLICK HERE to access the questionnaire - please send it back to liz@khuthaza.org.za

If you are interested in sharing (preferably on a volunteer basis) construction and business related skills through our Career and ED Centre, please let me know - liz@khuthaza.org.za

Thanks to Tiber for investing in us!

Cheers, Liz
