Through its partnership with the local NGO Guba, Black Mamba trains smallholders in permaculture and organic farming and buys the fresh produce from them to make its goods.
To date, 60 farmers are part of their value chain, and their direct positive impact reaches over 1000 individuals in Eswatini. The company has won several Great Taste Awards in the UK for its sauces and exports to several countries including the US, the UK, Germany, Norway, and Taiwan.
Claudia Castellanos is passionate about changing the world one chilli at a time and is an impact entrepreneur and food rebel.
She holds an MBA from ESADE with a focus in Marketing and a degree in Finance and International Relations from the Universidad Externado de Colombia. She is a Future of Food Fellowship Fellow and has received several awards, including the WIA Awardee 2020, the 500 Most Influential Africans in the World 2021, the EY Entrepreneurial Winning Women 2022, and the Trophee des Anciens Eleves du Lycee Francais dans le monde 2022.
