Ukwanda Projects NPC is a public benefit organization (PBO) specifically focused on youth aged fourteen to forty.  Ukwanda’s primary objective is to vet and source products and services from third parties that empower the youth with work readiness and gear them towards career success.  

 

Everyone deserves equal opportunity to thrive, and this starts from early life in developing the right foundations from which to grow. Ukwanda has identified two critical gaps in the education system that needs to be addressed; 

1) Math Literacy 2) Career Guidance & Support.

​

Poor Math literacy is a major inhibitor for our youth. Having good math skills is a prerequisite for the majority of work and Ukwanda is dedicated to lifting the Math standard across South Africa.

 

80% of our youth do not have access to any kind of formal career guidance or support. This is a huge problem when the majority of the youth coming through the education system are first generation children, who cannot rely on their parents for advice. Ukwanda believes having self knowledge and career support is a human right, especially in today's hyper-competitive, fast changing workforce.
