Business Plan
for
Kulula Skills Centre
A program of The House Group in Johannesburg
Prepared by - Adéle du Plessis
Business plan, as approved Aug 2000 by Department of Welfare and Population
Development. This approved Business Plan forms the basis of the registration of Kulula
Skills Centre as a Shelter and Skills Centre for Female persons aged 13-21, under the laws of South Africa . It took us all of three years of hard labour, and running the program without any assistance from Government, to get this recognition for the girl child in need and registration as a resource for these children.
