AMBITION IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS

SUCCESS

TAKE YOUR FUTURE INTO YOUR OWN HANDS

Why We Exist

We aim to empower the next generation of leaders with the tools they need to rise up, take action, and create a better future.

THE CHALLENGE

OUR SOLUTION

WHY IT MATTERS

Extensive research with South African business development providers revealed a critical challenge: the quality of entrepreneurs entering their programs is often lacking.

 

Our education system places minimal emphasis on critical thinking, financial literacy, and entrepreneurial skills—skills that are essential in today’s fast-changing world.

To address these gaps, we created Vhaswa Vuwani (Youth Rise Up), a free, 10-week entrepreneurial program designed to equip participants with the skills they need to succeed.

 

​Through real-world business case studies, market research, and the development of minimal viable products, participants will gain practical, hands-on experience.

With close to 60% of South African youth aged 15-25 unemployed, this program empowers participants to overcome the challenges of a competitive job market.

 

Whether they aim to start their own businesses or secure meaningful employment, Vhaswa Vuwani provides the tools and knowledge they need to thrive.

- DON’T MISS OUT! -

Innovate. Collaborate. Solve.
