Since its inception in 2023, the Hub has achieved remarkable milestones that reflect its unwavering commitment to fostering innovation, enterprise, and community empowerment.

Through initiatives such as the Drone Divas Programme, Bosadi Fashion Design Business Startup Programme, and Creative Media Startup Initiative, Inhlanyelo Hub has created new economic opportunities, generating jobs and transforming lives. To date, 40 women drone pilots have entered the drone economy through this programme, either by securing gainful employment or applying their drone licenses in existing positions. Currently, six women drone pilots have founded businesses in the drone industry and continue to receive business coaching and incubation support from Inhlanyelo Hub - living proof of the Hub's mission to promote socioeconomic upliftment through skills development and job creation. Small businesses have also been founded by beneficiaries who completed the Fashion Design Business Startup Programme and are already bringing their designs to market.
