Stories from our community

Real members, real income, real change.

"After my husband passed, I had his tools sitting in the garage. Rent Rocket helped me turn them into R3,400 a month — enough to keep my daughter in school."

"I started with one drill. Now I own a small handyman service and rent out a second set of tools too. CVS gave my customers confidence in me."

"The SEDA referral changed everything — I now have a registered business. It all started with renting out my late father's pressure washer."
