The Microfranchise Accelerator (The MFA)

I recently shot a short video for the The Business Place Phillipi (TBP) and
The Clothing Bank (TCB). The film was for an Ashoka Changemakers competition.
The winner receives funding for the expansion of their respective projects.

TBP and TCB are working together to establish Micro Franchise Accelerator opportunities
for nessessity entreprenuers (people who start business not because of want, but out of the need to make money). They started with TCB having women sort and mend clothing donated from major retailers, who then buy the clothing at a very low cost and resell them. TBP has joined the project and
sources a wide variety of micro franchising opportunities for their clients.

A very special thanks to Brenda Goldblatt for mentoring me on this project.
Also to Tracy Chambers (TCB) and Egbert Wessels and Cecile Pompei (TBP) for letting me make this video.
