• Capacity Development Provider
Awethu has built one of the lowest-cost job creation programmes in the country and is one of the only programmes focusing on informal micro entrepreneurs. The next generation of Awethu's Incubator will be in test phase in Q3 2018, and entrepreneurs can currently sign up to be part of the pilot. Awethu has already released a taster of its next generation incubator in the form of its mobile app, which is a great way to see how they're approaching business skills training and tools for entrepreneurs. The app won Best Education Solution at MTN's App of the Year Awards, and Awethu is confident that its next generation incubator will be even better.
