Rise Up at the Red

This year, Aspire Solutions has engaged with the First Lady Chamber as another avenue to contribute to the growth of South African business, as well as women in business.  The First Lady Chamber is a platform that assists female entrepreneurs in South Africa build their businesses though education, inspiration and upliftment.  It aims to address the challenges that women in business face due to a lack of guidance and support, as well as the lack of female representation in leading roles. Aspire got on board as a cash-prize sponsor for the First Lady Chamber’s 2019 Rise Up at the Red event held at the Radisson Red Hotel at the V&A Waterfront.  Rise up at the Red was a breakfast of networking, collaboration and inspiration in celebrating Women’s Day.

Aspire plans to continue to support this platform through partnering with the First Lady Chamber to facilitate technology within their upliftment programmes and by sponsoring two members in 2020.  We foresee many positive developments here so watch this space.
