In 2013, we launched our first education program, the Seed Transformation Program (STP), with 26 participants in Accra, Ghana. Today, Seed offers four programs to address the needs of companies at varying stages of growth in over 37 countries, providing a comprehensive and valuable continuum of support. We've come a long way, and our mission remains clear: to partner with entrepreneurs to build thriving enterprises that transform lives. As we look back on the last 10 years, we're even more excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. Together, we're not just changing businesses—we're changing lives.

Calling All Zambian Youth Entrepreneurs! In a rapidly changing world, the power of collaboration cannot be overstated. As young entrepreneurs in Zambia, it’s time we stop viewing each other as competitors and start learning from the incredible achievements made possible through collaboration in other countries.

By joining forces with both the private sector and government, we can create opportunities that benefit all.

Townships are the heartbeat of South Africa, and their entrepreneurs are the lifeblood. At the Township Economies Conference & Expo, Shingi joined an incredible panel discussing how to build a supportive ecosystem for these dynamic businesses. 💬 Shingi's key insight: "No one entity (government, private sector, or civil society) can do incubation on its own. We need to go beyond meeting at conferences and collaborate to pool our resources and offerings to grow sustainably. By providing the right support, we can help these businesses scale, create jobs, and drive economic growth." 🌍 Why this matters: As South Africa grapples with high unemployment rates and economic disparities, townships often become a beacon of hope and opportunity. The informal sector in these communities supports around 2.5 million people, providing essential goods and services. 🌱 At the Foundation, we're committed to empowering township communities. By fostering robust ecosystems, we aim to cultivate sustainable growth and economic resilience.
