“To date we have recruited more than 40 businesses and have made a huge impact in the growth of our economy. I am proud to be associated with such an amazing organisation and team who is passionate about the work they do.”

Faith Ramusetheli

Transformation Director – Sage Africa & Middle East
We know the 6 beneficiaries we added to our loan program in the last 2 years are safe and well supported in the Aurik program. We already see how these small businesses are growing when we interact with their management teams during the year. They can now better articulate their needs and requirements, and sell their businesses more effectively to Kimberley Clark.
