South Africa: Nkhensani Priscilla Ngobeni

Nkhensani Priscilla Ngobeni’s journey is one of determination, growth, and quiet resilience built through hard work and belief in herself. Starting Lwandle’s Cleaning Services from her home, she used the skills gained through the Sunrise Campaign—communication, problem‑solving, and self‑awareness—to turn a small idea into a growing source of income. 

As her customer base expanded across her community, her confidence grew alongside her independence, allowing her to provide food for her family, restore harmony at home, and earn respect from those around her. She steadily improved her business by adding new products such as juices, improving packaging, introducing combo deals, and marketing through social media, all while keeping careful records of her stock and sales. 

Despite challenges such as transport costs and damaged products, she remained committed, saving regularly, reinvesting in stock, and planning to expand her reach and hire others. Her story reflects a powerful shift from survival to stability, showing how entrepreneurship can restore dignity, strengthen families, and open the door to lasting self‑reliance.
