Pru’s journey began in 1992. Barely in our 20’s, like many young Australians, left home to discover the world and inadvertently discovered herself and a fulfilling career. She spent 10 years travelling and working in hospitality which included extensive travel through Africa, running safari lodges in Botswana, a wilderness lodge in the highlands of Papua New Guinea and working in a number of wilderness lodges in Far North Queensland.Pru and her partner wanted to start a family and decided Australia was the place for that, so they moved to the Sunshine Coast and created KALAHARI TRADING Co . A business that kept them connected to Africa and everything they loved about it, the wilderness, the people and the beautiful hand craft that says so much about the culture and resourcefulness of its population.
In 2007 Community Projects Worldwide was established as a retail business at Eumundi on the Sunshine Coast and in 2008 the second retail shop was opened in Port Macquarie in NSW. Today KALAHARI TRADING Co is a wholesale supplier to retailers throughout Australia, and Community Projects Worldwide caters to the retail customers.
