Efeng Bacha Entrepreneurship Training – South Africa

Training Date: From 28 September, 2023 to 28 September, 2023
Venue: South Africa
Training Provider: Nelson Mandela Children's Fund

Efeng Bacha Entrepreneurship Training is now accepting an application for South Africa. The Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund (The Fund) strives to change how society treats children and youth. The Efeng Bacha (EB) initiative under the Youth Leadership Programme (YLP) pushes this mandate to build innovative leaders with an entrepreneurial mindset. Unemployment stands as one of the leading challenges faced by South African youth. It negatively contributes to poverty, crime, and drug abuse, leading to an unending poverty cycle. The Efeng Bacha Initiative is a 6-month online entrepreneurship training designed to capacitate youth with leadership, business fundamentals, financial literacy, and project management skills. The YLP believes in uplifting youth to tap into their business potential to contribute towards improving the South African economy. Nelson Mandela once said, “The working youth is critical to our future. The economy depends on you. With your hard work and efforts at improving your skills, you can make one of the most prosperous nations in the world.” If you want to be part of the positive change, Efeng Bacha has a spot for you!
