A multi-dimensional approach to empowerment.
SHUTWWEP uses a multi-dimensional approach to collaborate with public and private enterprises and organisations to initiate and promote sustainable interventions that are smartly developed and are youth friendly.
Programmes built for the next gen.
Enterprise
Youth Enterprise Development
SHUTWWEP has highlighted the importance of small enterprises to stimulate economic growth, to alleviate unemployment and for income redistribution. It also recognises that small enterprises are underdeveloped and proper support is needed so that these enterprises can play a larger role in the economic activities of rural communities.
Skills
Training and Development
In addition to improving employability and labour productivity, our critical skills training and development programmes aim to provide the learners with the skills, values, attitude and competences that will help them to become more responsive to the demands of today's workplace. The programme also aims to reduce school drop-outs from high schools to tertiary level.
Wellbeing
Sports and Recreation
Sport is one of the most powerful tools for youth development. Our sports and recreation programmes build confidence, discipline, teamwork and physical wellbeing — giving young people in rural communities a positive outlet and a reason to stay engaged.
Nutrition
FEED Programme
The Integrated Nutrition for Sustainable Development Programme (FEED) is not just a food handout or soup kitchen or feeding scheme that usually results in laziness and perpetual dependence. Our FEED Programme is a uniquely Smart Agriculture Programme centred around an innovative and integrated approach to nutrition as a rural development strategy.
Dignity
Menstrual Cycle Management
Dignity is not a privilege. Our menstrual cycle management programme ensures that young women in rural communities have access to the products, education and support they need to stay in school and live with confidence.
Careers
Workplace Readiness Programme
Promoting a smooth transition from school to work, and ensuring that the youth are given the opportunities to move on in their careers and lives, is an issue of fundamental importance in South Africa. Today, there are even more pressing challenges as the South African economy emerges from the worst health crisis in 100 years. We also initiate and promote programmes that have a direct impact on keeping children in schools.
