We are thrilled to share the success story of Tebogo Mosweu, the beneficiary of Cashbuild’s enterprise development Program. Through this initiative, Cashbuild had the privilege of providing Tebogo with a shipping container, creatively transformed into the charming flower shop, Ditebogo Gifts. Beyond offering flowers, Ditebogo Gifts also provides corporate gifts, catering to the diverse needs of the community.

Tebogo was selected for this opportunity due to her outstanding contributions to the community, particularly her dedication to assisting underprivileged children with early childhood education. Her commitment to making a difference in the lives of young children is truly inspiring, and Cashbuild felt honoured to support her in establishing this business. By equipping Tebogo with the means to launch her own shop, our goal is to empower her and contribute to the economic growth of the community. We firmly believe that supporting local entrepreneurs like Tebogo is crucial for creating sustainable development and fostering a thriving business environment. As Tebogo embarks on this new chapter, we extend our best wishes for her continued success, hoping that Ditebogo Gifts becomes a symbol of hope, inspiration, and prosperity for the entire community. Cashbuild is proud to have played a small part in Tebogo’s journey and looks forward to witnessing her ongoing impact on the lives of others.

This marks the third instance of Cashbuild’s donation of shipping containers to local enterprises. The initial donation benefited Mabopane Local Enterprise, where seven local enterprises received containers. The second donation occurred in Meadowlands, where three containers were provided to three local enterprises.

Ditebogo Gifts, owned by Tebogo Mosweu, is a self-taught gift maker and certified florist based in Alexandra. Before receiving the shipping container, Tebogo operated her flower shop from her home and currently employs two individuals.

Expressing her gratitude, Tebogo stated, “I am eternally grateful for the beautiful container, which met every specification I needed for my business. I want you to know that your donation will not go to waste; I will be employing more people and using the shop to up-skill the youth. I have already spoken to a primary school principal, and we will be working with learners to train them in flower arranging. Children in our tutoring program will also benefit from learning about floral arrangements, intending to use them to comprehend complex subjects like Math. Without your support, it wouldn’t have been easy to fulfil this responsibility that lies in our hearts. Thank you very much,” says Tebogo of Ditebogo Gifts.
