It consists of a consulting arm and a manufacturing arm called House Grandeur, which designs and manufactures furniture. Sustainability runs through both businesses: chairs and wood products use reclaimed timber, and leathers come from suppliers with sustainable practices.<\/p>\n<p>Ren\u00e9e has two main priorities. First, she wants to create jobs by training and employing local women from her own community to produce the scatter cushions. Second, she wants to shift from small residential jobs toward more B2B contracts. Monthly orders, especially from overseas clients, provide a steady cash flow, and Ren\u00e9e would like to grow that type of income.<\/p>\n<p>Ren\u00e9e runs the business alone, so time management is a constant constraint. Finding qualified artisans is also struggle: Many of the people she relied on are foreigners who feel increasingly unwelcome in South Africa, with some deciding to leave altogether. She also lacks internal bookkeeping systems. Ren\u00e9e would also like to adopt software such as Sage before handing her records to her accountant, but hasn&#8217;t found the time.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"  itemprop=\"url\" title=\"LogoReciprocity\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/LogoReciprocity.png\" alt=\"LogoReciprocity\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"65\" width=\"109\" data-link-type=\"url\" title=\"LogoReciprocity\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/LogoReciprocity.png 109w, https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/LogoReciprocity-18x12.png 18w\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.london.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"  itemprop=\"url\" title=\"LogoLBS\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/LogoLBS.jpg\" alt=\"LogoLBS\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"72\" width=\"72\" data-link-type=\"url\" title=\"LogoLBS\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/LogoLBS.jpg 72w, https:\/\/reciprocity.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/LogoLBS-12x12.jpg 12w\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n<\/div><!-- .vgblk-rw-wrapper -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome About Langa Your Clients Useful Resources 14.
