A team that learns together, grows together:

As an organization of young ecosystem practitioners in the youth, women & entrepreneurship environments specializing in partnering with clients to practically and creatively solve problems - we thrive in taking up opportunities to help us engage and grow as project change drivers to better serve our beneficiaries and clients.

Last week, some of our amazing team had the opportunity to learn together by joining the “2024/2025 Insights for Social Investment and Development Sectors” Coffee Conversations presented by Reana Rossouw - Next Generation Consultants.

We spent the the day diving into the necessary conversations of what ecosystem builders, funders, investors as well as beneficiaries can do together - to better mitigate risks for targeted development opportunities, new funding models as well as unpacking the increased importance of technology and new skills requirements in these approaches.

Quarter 1 of 2024 flew by so quickly and landed us straight into Quarter 2 with the reminder that the work we do is no small task. We pride ourselves in doing our bit to change the lives of our communities, country and continent.
