Social entreprises started icnlude:
SOTE TULE
KaaKazini
Apprenticeship for jobs
KaaKazini - is a web-based placement service connecting craftsmen to informal and formal employment, and gigs - anyone can work and anyone can hireText.
We provide mentorship, welfare support and leadership capacity development directly to them. And through partnerships with reputable stakeholders, we are able to provide access to vocational programmes with a subsequent technology-enabled quality apprenticeship program, and supported housing enabling a convenient and sustainable transition to independent living.
This is in response to the challenge of vulnerable and homeless youth. This comes with the challenge of income generation for sustainability. Most of them having dropped out of primary school, high school and even from tertiary institutions, still lack essential skills to allow them to fend for themselves. There are few opportunities for them to find jobs or to start off enterprises. They are also on the disadvantaged side of the technological divide and therefore experience the challenge of access to information, digital skills acquisition and inclusion in social innovation.
