Entrepreneurial spirit flows at Zoe Legacy Foundation in Wendywood
Despite flooding near the venue due to a burst water pipe, over 100 entrepreneurs gathered for a powerful morning of learning and networking, at the Zoe Legacy Foundation's Entrepreneurship Seminar on May 17
The free seminar, hosted at the Zoe Legacy Foundation in Wendywood, brought together aspiring and established entrepreneurs under the theme of building sustainable, purpose-driven businesses.
Co-founder Justin Naidoo said the event was a response to the need for grassroots economic solutions. 'Entrepreneurship is about restoring dignity and creating solutions where the formal economy can't. We are here to invest in people, building from the ground up.'
