Every Trader in Taking Care of Business (TCB) programme can trace their opportunity back to one double garage in Cape Town.
In 2010, Tracey Chambers and Tracey Gilmore co-founded what was then called The Clothing Bank, starting with a single stock donation and a group of unemployed mothers willing to learn how to buy and sell. More than a decade on, that garage has grown into a national programme supporting thousands of traders, still built on the same idea: give someone real skills, real stock, a real business opportunity, and a support network, and they'll build a resilient small business that lasts.
