I'm 16. And I don't want to wait to make a difference.

Cradl started with a simple idea: what if something as ordinary as buying and selling baby products could help create something extraordinary? I'm building Cradl because I believe young people don't have to wait until they're older to contribute something meaningful. I can't solve every problem in South Africa. But I can build something that helps people come together, generate resources and tackle problems one community at a time.

This is bigger than a marketplace. It's about proving that business, technology and purpose can work together to create real change — and doing it in a way people can verify, not just believe.
