Beauty Mutanga, a story of perseverance, determination, and hard work

From seeking to survive and sustain her family, to being able to afford luxuries that she once only dreamt of is the story of hope in the face of hardship, a story of perseverance, determination, and hard work for 37-year-old Beauty Mutanga of Harare’s Mabvuku suburb.

The mother of four did not allow the economic situation in the country to keep her down and sought ways to change her fortunes to give her family a better life, when she joined ZIWEB in 2019 – the Zimbabwe Women Empowered in Business  – a Nestlé  ESAR initiative which aims to empower women in Zimbabwe with the opportunity to start and sustainably run their own businesses by becoming sub distributors for Nestlé ’s affordable range of products such as NESTLÉ CREMORA ,NESTLÉ CEREVITA and NESTLÉ CERELAC .

Launched in 2019 in one of Harare’s suburbs with 29 participants, the programme has grown to almost 250 participants and has extended to other cities and towns across Zimbabwe, promoting an entrepreneurial spirit in women.
