Few days after House of Tara celebrated 10 years of visionary entrepreneurship at a glamorous event in Lagos, she has received an international stamp of approval as the Board of the Africa SMME Award has named her 2007 winner from a shortlist of some of the brightest medium-scale entrepreneurs across the African continent.

The Africa SMME Awards are presented to the best small medium and micro enterprises in Africa, measured against specific criteria. The Awards are presented to businesses that strive for excellence in order to be competitive in regional, national and international markets. These businesses are well established, in good financial shape and enjoy a reputation for quality, integrity and service. Furthermore, they act in a socially responsible manner and create a work environment in which their employees can learn and grow.

Aimed at presenting latest trends in SMME development in the continent, the award has gained footing as one that supports and showcase Africa’’s finest entrepreneurial achievements in the SMMEs sector.

Amongst other things, this achievement yet again sets Tara out as one Nigerian businesswoman with substance at par with her rising profile. It emphasizes her role as forerunner in the Nigerian style business and as undisputed leader in the make-up industry. But more than that it also distinguishes the brand and its owner as rising beyond the toga of a beauty entrepreneur to a Nigerian icon of vision, drive and excellence. This award places a bigger burden of inspiration on a woman who has continued to show a passion to better the lives of young women in practical, effective ways; ways that help them achieve economic independence without moral compromise.

This sworn vision of the brand and its owner is sure to receive an even bigger international platform with this highly coveted award, as well as giving a big boost to her current efforts in organizing the You Can Do It seminars at campuses around the country, sharing her story and that of many other inspiring men and women with youth across the country.

The Award holds on the 25th of October 2007 Africa SMME Annual Conference and Awards Ceremony
Johannesburg, South Africa.
