The Vhathu Centric Approach
"Vhathu" means "people". My training philosophy is rooted in the belief that technical solutions only succeed when they are human-centric.
We use design thinking principles to bridge the gap between mining companies and local communities, ensuring that development is not only sustainable but also deeply impactful.
Empathy First
Understanding the real needs of stakeholders before designing solutions.
Co-Creation
Collaborative problem solving with those most affected by decisions.
Practical Application
Moving from theory to implementation with actionable tools.
