🌱 Celebrating 10 Years of Impact! 🌱 Today marked a decade of the Step Up 2 A Green Start Up Programme in partnership with AECI and Primestars —a journey dedicated to equipping youth with the skills and tools to thrive in the green economy. Over the past 10 years, this initiative has gone beyond empowerment—it has transformed lives. By fostering innovative and sustainable entrepreneurship, young people have move from job seekers to job creators, tackling the social, environmental, and economic challenges facing South Africa. This year, we were deeply honoured to have His Excellency, former President Thabo Mbeki, as our keynote speaker. His powerful message reminded us that initiatives like this are not acts of charity—they are investments in lasting, generational change. Together, we are building the South Africa we all envision—one step, one innovation, and one green start-up at a time. #10YearsOfImpact #GreenEconomy #YouthEmpowerment #Innovation #SustainableFuture
