Your Youth Empowerment Champion
South Africa’s youth face some of the highest barriers to wealth, equality and employment in the world. Yet together, we can create real pathways out of poverty. Our goal is to economically empower 500,000 young people by 2035, through our Skills Development, Entrepreneurship Development and Education Development Programmes.
We prioritise high-value interventions that support children and young people from historically disadvantaged communities. By strengthening education, building entrepreneurial capabilities and expanding pathways to economic inclusion, we enable young people to participate more meaningfully in the economy and their communities. Through these interventions, we contribute to reducing poverty and inequality while achieving meaningful, sustainable outcomes.
Our programmes contribute directly to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), supporting progress towards a more inclusive and sustainable future. The SDG icons below highlight the primary goals that we impact.
Our programmes align closely with the national priorities of South Africa’s National Development Plan (NDP) 2030. We impact the following NDP priority areas:
