Small Projects Foundation

Small Projects Foundation The Small Projects Foundation's vision is to develop ways of supporting disadvantaged individuals.

The Small Projects Foundation, also known as SPF is an NGO / NPO registered Trust that has been operating for over 36 years. The Foundation has been a major contributor to development in the Eastern Cape over this period with specific emphasis on identifying critical constraints, and establishing pilot projects, and later replicating these pilots into programmes that become self-sustainable. The S

mall Projects Foundation has always emphasised that development needs to be measurable, whether in terms of asset creation or the results of training and capacity building. The Foundation aims at achieving the development of communities (including OVC, Young Women and Girls, Gender-Based Violence, families, CBOs, Leadership, and Education) who are committed to their own growth and development. The individual requires three main elements to better his/herself, namely:

1) Information about the available options.

2) Training in deciding on options, in taking up the opportunities/projects and in the technical skills necessary for project implementation.

3) Support in implementing projects/options and in post-project operations and maintenance. All programmes and projects of the Foundation are built on this fundamental axiom of helping individuals, groups, communities and organisations who have the necessary commitment, to grow and develop. To this end, the Small Projects Foundation operates on a request basis and always has a โ€˜sunset clauseโ€™ specifying that it will withdraw after a specified time.

As we close off Womenโ€™s Month, we celebrate women who embody strength, courage and determination. Women who continue to make bold decisions, overcome challenges and create opportunities, one step at a time.

Today, we shine a light on the inspiring journey of ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐š๐ฉ๐ก๐ž๐ฅ๐จ ๐’๐จ๐ฆ๐ญ๐จ๐ฆ๐›๐จ, a young entrepreneur from Mdantsane who is carrying forward her motherโ€™s legacy through ๐Œ๐ข๐ฆ๐ขโ€™๐ฌ ๐Š๐ข๐ญ๐œ๐ก๐ž๐ง.

Established in 2000, Mimiโ€™s Kitchen started as a humble food business, selling amagwinya (Fat cakes), rostile, fish and chips, homemade ginger beer and more. But in 2019, the business began facing financial challenges. Around the same time, Nomaphelo had to leave university due to financial difficulties and returned home to support her mother with the family business.

In 2023, Nomaphelo officially took over Mimiโ€™s Kitchen after recognizing the need to rebuild and sustain the business. The past three years have been a journey of learning, perseverance and understanding the many intricacies of running a businessโ€”all while working to restore the brandโ€™s place within the community.

A significant turning point came in 2025, when a customer introduced Nomaphelo to Small Projects Foundation's ๐’๐ฆ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐„๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ž ๐ƒ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ฅ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐š๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ž. The programme played an important role in helping her strengthen and regain momentum in her business.

Today, operating from her family home, Mimiโ€™s Kitchen employs seven local community members, who assist with reselling products in local schools and surrounding communities. Beyond creating employment, the business has also become a source of support in the neighbourhood, with leftover meals being shared with local children.

More recently, Nomaphelo received ๐’๐“๐‘๐‘๐„๐ ๐Ÿ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ข๐ง๐  through our partner, ECDC - Eastern Cape Development Corporation, which assisted her with essential working equipment to improve her operations and take the business forward. Equipment includes: Cooler fridge, 4 Burner gas grill, 20l Dough mixer, 4-pot boiling table, โ Chip Dump

Her journey is a powerful reminder that setbacks do not have to define our future. With determination, support and a willingness to keep learning, it is possible to rebuild, grow and create opportunities for others.

As Womenโ€™s Month comes to an end, we celebrate Nomaphelo and countless women like her who continue to build, lead and inspire.

As Womenโ€™s Month comes to an end, Small Projects Foundation takes a moment to celebrate and appreciate the incredible women who are part of our SPF family โ€” our Community Health Workers, Social Employment Fund Ambassadors, colleagues, and the many women who continue to serve and uplift our communities.

To every woman in our SPF family: You are strong. You are important.
