Nobom Nini’s passion for community development has proven to outweigh her nursing profession, which she continues to practice. She has worked closely with the EPWP program under IDT between 2022 and 2025 to create viable job opportunities for at least 606 people in her community. This has been achieved by converting dumping sites into productive community gardens, implementing food security and recycling initiatives, all aimed at creating a sustainable environment. She values and appreciates teamwork as a pillar of her success. She has collaborated with organizations such as Small Projects Foundation and Gift of the Givers. She has been previously recognised through nomination for the South African Nursing Council in the #BeThatNurse campaign in 2020, Daily Dispatch Local Heroes in the same year, and sociopreneur winner of the National Presidential awards at the district and provincial level. She is a popular nurse in the Eastern Cape who uses radio and school platforms to show health-related subjects to the South Africans and empower youth.
