Youth Unemployment in South Africa.

Of South African Homes Do Not Have Money At The End of the Month.
Our Mission
In a country facing the highest unemployment rate in the world, with youth unemployment soaring to 60%, the time for change is now.
The Human Entrepreneur is launching an inspiring initiative, "A Side Hustle In Every Home," to bring hope and opportunity to South Africa's young minds. We invite you to join us in this crucial mission.
Your Donations Will Make The Following Possible
With 25,000 schools in South Africa, we aim to place a box of books in every one of them. The knowledge contained in these pages will not only inspire students to start earning but also equip them with the skills to manage and grow their money.
Consider this: 76% of South African households struggle to make ends meet at the end of the month, and less than 10% are prepared for retirement. By sponsoring these books, you are not just investing in the youth; you are laying the foundation for a better future for their families.
What’s in a Box of Books?
Each box of books contains 10 empowering books — 5 copies of “Winning the Money Game,” which teaches essential financial literacy skills, and 5 copies of “Side Hustle Success,” a guide to launching a side hustle with minimal cost and risk. These resources will be gifted to business studies or life orientation teachers at schools across South Africa.
Make a Difference
You can sponsor as many boxes of books as you wish—whether it’s one, ten, or twenty! Choose how you’d like to participate: we can ship the books directly to you at no cost (South Africa only) for you to gift to a school of your choice, or we will donate them to a needy school on your behalf. You can even donate the books to your child’s school or your alma mater, ensuring that your contribution makes a direct impact where it matters most.
