Youth in Agri Youth in Technology

Introducing youth into agriculture and technology value chains as a way to bring them into the formal economy. The Youth in Agri Project is a collaborative initiative that supports small scale-farmers in various township communities, increasing their garden’s productivity and their business’ income. The Youth in Tech Project focuses on the industry relevant training in post school youth. The subsequent exposure to real work and active acquisition of innovative projects ensure the necessary experience to access gainful economic activity in the IT space.
