OWN YOUR DESTINY WALALA WASALA
Alma Ndlovukazi Gericke INUKA FOUNDER
January 2010, 13 Years ago, INUKA was just an idea and a dream discussed around our family dinner table. As a family, we were inspired and motivated by our shared dream filled with DETERMINATION, LOVE, and CARE to make a positive difference in our community and Southern Africa. We created a business plan and developed a product range to create a rewarding and financially sustainable business opportunity for people from all walks of life with easy and affordable start-up options. We also created a powerful vision statement to VALUE, ENCOURAGE, AND EMPOWER EVERY LIFE WE TOUCH. In June 2010, we officially launched INUKA and opened our doors when we moved into our first small office with 5 Employees. Today, the INUKA Group of Companies has blossomed to more than 500 full-time employees to support the operations of 200 000 plus Entrepreneurs that started an INUKA Business. Many of you know the words INUKA KAMNANDI, meaning it smells good or to be surrounded by smell. In Swahili, INUKA has a unique meaning: TO RISE UP, GET UP, STAND UP! Even the word INUKA, spelled backward, AKUNI, has a special meaning. AKUNI is a popular name in certain parts of Australia. People with this name are Trailblazers and Torchbearers . They are Leaders and Visionaries . They are Brave Warriors . In this InTouch Jubilee Edition, we celebrate the remarkable achievements of our INUKA Entrepreneurs. You have worked tirelessly to build your businesses, grow your teams, and positively impact the communities in which you live and work.
As entrepreneurs, we know that the road to success is always challenging. It requires passion, hard work, and an unrelenting determination to succeed. But it is also important to remember that success is not just about the end result. It is about the journey you take to get there and the person you become along the way. I want to encourage all of you to embrace your journey as an INUKA Entrepreneur. Celebrate the small wins, learn from your failures, and remember why you started this journey. We grow and become the best versions of ourselves through our struggles and challenges. Together, you and I are the INUKA AKUNI’S. Thank you for your dedication and perseverance. You are our Trailblazers and Torchbearers. You are our Leaders, Visionaries and Brave Warriors. It is your time and your turn to wear your crown. Let us lean on each other, learn from each other, and always strive to be our best to CREATE OUR DESTINY .
