Retail
Founded in 2016, Township Fleva (TF) was established with the mission of transforming our non-profit efforts into tangible economic opportunities for township communities. Recognizing the immense talent and potential among our students, particularly in the Fashion & Design (F&D) programs, we could not stand idly by while they faced challenges in accessing economic participation. This realization led us to take proactive steps to create pathways for success.
One of our significant initiatives has been our partnership with Woolworths, a renowned retail leader in South Africa. Through this collaboration, we have developed a range of seasonal products that not only showcase the creativity and skills of our students but also provide them with valuable work experience and income-generating opportunities.
Seasonal Product Lines
- Christmas Stockings: Our talented artisans crafted beautifully designed Christmas stockings that embody the festive spirit while reflecting the unique cultural elements of our communities. These stockings have been well-received, allowing our students to gain practical experience in production and design.
- Easter Hunt Bags: For Easter, we created vibrant and playful hunt bags that added joy to the holiday celebrations. These bags were designed with attention to detail and creativity, showcasing the artistic capabilities of our students while providing them with a platform to sell their work.
- Valentine’s Hearts: In celebration of love, we produced charming Valentine’s hearts that were marketed as thoughtful gifts. This project not only allowed our students to express their creativity but also helped them understand market trends and consumer preferences.
Through these initiatives, Township Fleva has opened doors for our students, enabling them to gain real-world experience in product development and marketing. The partnership with Woolworths has been instrumental in providing a platform for showcasing their talents while generating income that contributes to their economic independence.
By continuously seeking opportunities like these, we aim to empower township entrepreneurs and create sustainable pathways for economic growth within our communities.
Our commitment to fostering talent through practical experiences remains at the core of what we do, ensuring that every student has the chance to thrive in their chosen fields.
