A sustainable farming company empowering future female farmers. Environmentally friendly yet affordable sanitary products. Creating contemporary homeware items using only recycled materials. These are just some of the innovative start-ups that formed part of our Access Bank Womenpreneur competition in 2023. Led by dynamic female entrepreneurs, these companies have seen a gap in the market and are providing innovative solutions to empower and transform the lives of ordinary South Africans.
