Shanni Wreford-Smith Founder of CHAT
Over 15 years ago Shanni founded the Mpala Community Trust and Nomadic Communities Trust, which would amalgamate to become CHAT in 2008. Additionally, she formed Desert Springs Ltd, a company focused on honey-trading and marmalade production, Origin Africa - another honey business - and has spent over 25 years involved in various other cottage industries, such as helping unemployed women making carpets out of indigenous plant fibre and plant dyes. She also started a company called African Frontiers Ltd. Co., which provided outward-bound camel safaris for 10 years. In fact, these same camels would end up joining CHAT for its integrated mobile services, reaching the remotest areas when necessary.
