Milestones in Our Social Entrepreneurship Journey
We're thrilled to share some incredible achievements that mark significant milestones in our mission to revolutionize sustainable feed solutions through mushroom cultivation.
We're honored that our founder was invited as Guest of Honor at the prestigious DUT Student Awards Ceremony, where we had the privilege to share our social entrepreneurship journey in sustainable feed solutions.
Exciting news! We've been selected for POS (Point of Sale) support from Vodacom & TIBS as part of our Hult Prize achievement. This partnership will significantly enhance our ability to reach more communities with sustainable mushroom cultivation solutions.
