My name is Claudia. I have 3 children. I love helping others In need as well as a good challenge. I love trying new things, a jack of all trades as some would call me. I love pretty things such as clothing and footwear! I enjoy cooking for others the most as this brings me true joy.

My name is Brenda, I am a mother of 2 biological children and 1 adopted child. I am well known for making MasterChef braaibroodjies. I live for other people and if I had to do one thing for the rest of my life it would be serving others. I have a generous heart and kind spirit. I have my own business that Wild Mongoo has helped me establish & it is an embroidery business.

Even though I’m hard of hearing, I have earned the nickname chatterbox at work! I take great pride in my work and like to take my time making sure my products are perfect. My desire is to become a chef and to be able to make my favorite food. I was also given the opportunity to learn how to do nails. We do nails here at Wild Mongoo every Tuesday & Thursday and it is the best day of the week for me.

I recently got married to my wonderful husband. Wild Mongoo provided me with 3 months of home based nursing courses and HIV counselling. Now I work at Door Of Hope Medical Centre occasionally during the week while also working at Wild Mongoo. I am grateful for the opportunity to have been able to study at the age of 33 and I hope this will inspire other ladies too.

When I first found out about Wild Mongoo from a friend working here, I was hesitant to come but I am so glad I did.

6 months at Wild Mongoo and I am now self-sufficient and able to care for myself and my family. My dream is to have my son with me and a bigger dream is to run my own business one day.

Before the big pink blessing (Wild Mongoo) came into my life, I was in a terrible place not able to provide for my family but my life changed when a friend of mine introduced me to Wild Mongoo. A safe place where I could learn new skills while enjoying the work I do. I started at the beading department and now I am an all-rounder pattern maker for most of our products here.

Hi my name is Lungelwa Malgyi. I am 27 years old. I consider Wild Mongoo my family! I am deaf and have struggled to communicate in the past but this has felt like home. We all get sign language training and this helps the others communicate with me . I am so grateful to be heard even when I don’t verbally speak.

I am 21 years old and I am quiet but very outgoing. I love to dress up in beautiful clothes and paint my nails as well as others. I am hard of hearing however Wild Mongoo has given me a safe place to learn how to communicate with others and develop my verbal skills.

I was always a very shy person and had no intentions of having any type of job. One day my friend introduced me to Wild Mongoo and I just went for it even though I felt I could not do it, even though I doubted God’s existence and my life’s purpose. I took the leap of faith and joined Wild Mongoo. That was the day I found light in the darkness I was used to.

I am a hardworking woman and Wild Mongoo enables me to put my diligence towards a good cause. I love being challenged and I enjoy teaching others the skills I have been taught at Wild Mongoo.
