Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator is a not-for-profit social enterprise that solves youth employment through partnerships. We work with partners who, like us, are committed to results that can work at scale – including government, the private sector, civil society, and over 3 million youth. We are working to unlock jobs and break down the barriers that keep millions of young South Africans unemployed. Our vision is of a growing economy and a society that works, powered by the potential of young people. Harambee is an anchor partner in a breakthrough platform called SA Youth (sayouth.mobi) which brings together many partners to create a single national network to allow young people to access a wide selection of jobs and skilling opportunities and for opportunity holders to access young engaged work-seekers – for free!
