While there are some who still believe in the stereotype that women are not as capable as men when it comes to trade work such as plumbing , this perception is slowly changing . Plumbing Africa thanks Blulever Education for providing coverage of their ongoing Women on Tools campaign , which aims to change the narrative about women in the trades by sharing the success stories of their female apprentices .
" At first , my family felt like I could not be able to be in a construction site . They had their doubts , but as time went by , they saw that I can do it ; I am passing very well , and up for the challenge … it is not easy , but we have to make it . There are so many women looking up to us ," – Hudivha Mamphehu , BluLever apprentice .
