The trust was recognised for their role in uplifting communities across South Africa at the recent 2nd Annual SA Premier Award ceremony and walked away with the Rural Development Award. The awards target emerging co-operatives operating in any sector of the economy within a rural community and focuses on the creation of sustainable job opportunities. Over the past decade, Clover Mama Afrika has established a reputation for being one of the country’s most innovative, effective and sustainable corporate investment programmes, bringing tangible benefits to the people it aims to uplift at grassroots level. The project also aims to empower the mama’s with viable skills which they use to earn a sustainable income.
