Cause Highlights 

We are most proud of training over 19,000 beneficiaries in the 2023/2024 financial year. This included partnering with Intel (“She Will Connect”) to upskill 16,000 women and collaborating with Nemisa/Limpopo CoLab to train 3,211 youth in digital literacy. This impact was recognized internationally when the ILO selected our team to visit the Digital Innovation Lab in Turin, Italy, to study global best practices for rural digital inclusion.
