Asiphe Mkulisi assists one of her clients at the salon.

The Sarva Dharma Ashram of Welbedacht, Chatsworth has gone the extra mile by supporting the opening of a small business for a hardworking and well deserved youth member of the ashram.

Asiphe Mkulisi, 19, a young early school leaver and a mother, who resides in Welbedact, was sponsored by the ashram to complete a hairdressing, manicure and foot massage training course.

After successfully completing the training, the ashram assisted her in opening a small salon and massage business which is housed in the ashrams community centre.

The name of the business is Sylvias Salon and Massage, named after Asiphes mother. The business is currently managed by the ashram until Asiphe gains the necessary business management experience and shows potential towards sustaining the business.

The ashrams community centre has the potential to become a small business start-up hub for business inclined youth of the ashram. The youngsters and some of them young adults have spent most of their lives growing up in the ashram environment and are now keen and ready to go out on their own.

The ashram is appealing to the public to come forward and support the ashram in making dreams come true for the youth of the ashram.

Youth will require skills and training sponsorships and some of them do have some skills and available for employment. Contact the ashram on 031 406-3766 or visit http://www.sarvadharmaashram.org.za
