Creating Jobs by Building Young Entrepreneurs — funding youth-owned businesses with branding, finance, compliance and tools.
Izwe Youth Foundation helps young entrepreneurs build solid, professional businesses by funding the essentials: corporate branding, bookkeeping & advisory, compliance support, and starter tools & equipment.
We focus on the fundamentals that banks and investors look for — credible branding, proper books, legal compliance and basic operational tools, so that youth businesses can be taken seriously.
Instead of cash in hand, we pay trusted service providers directly on behalf of approved applicants, ensuring real value, real deliverables, and a professional outcome.
South Africa faces significant unemployment challenges, particularly affecting youth. These statistics highlight why our work is crucial:
Our Solution: By supporting youth entrepreneurship, we're tackling unemployment at its root — creating job creators, not just job seekers.
We help youth-owned businesses look professional and funding-ready with a strong corporate identity and clear communication tools.
Clean financial records are critical when engaging banks, funders and major clients. We support youth with basic financial structures and advisory.
We assist with key compliance items that make a business legal, trusted and eligible for bigger opportunities.
For selected beneficiaries, the programme may support basic operational tools needed to start trading. This support is strictly controlled and based on quotes.
