#MANDELA DAY 2021
670 hours of free counselling for Entrepreneurs!
Resourceful, innovative entrepreneurs are generating much of Africa’s employment, income and hope for a better future. The opportunities they create require a workforce with a solid mental, emotional and psychosocial foundation capable of building sustainable eco-systems and livelihoods.
