Technoserve South Africa

The work that we did with township based entrepreneurs revolved around training, mentorship and market linkages. There are two programmes that we implemented specifically in the township: The Box Shop retail readiness programme and Youth And Women Business In Technology. The Box Shop incubator was a retail readiness programme that worked with fashion entrepreneurs in the township. The Youth And Women Business In Technology is survival to recovery programme that is aimed at supporting tech business in township with tools and knowledge in order for them to sustain operation during the lockdown period and beyond.
