SOE Foundation

Our purpose is to educate and empower disadvantaged youth and orphans who are unable to access university or college or find a job, so they can create and build sustainable and profitable businesses within a year. Ultimately, we want these students to be part of our employment solution rather than the unemployment pandemic that currently grips our country.

Who we are

The SOE Foundation (Reg No. 265 228) is the NPO arm of the School of Entrepreneurship where we seek to help disadvantaged youth and orphans as per our purpose. Here are just a few shocking statistics as per the StatsSA Q1 2022 report:
  • 75% of all youth are unemployed in SA
  • 55% of those who passed matric are unemployed
  • 45% of matriculants have a chance of finding a job
  • 40% of youth with a degree are unemployed
  • The average cost to study for a three-year degree is R192,600
  • More than 90% of student applications will be rejected

SOE Foundation aims to help the following students

Our ideal target audience is the youth of South Africa, males and females aged 18 to 24.

 

The SoE Foundation is situated in a nation that is struggling with poverty and unemployment. As a result, the youth is often seen as an apathetic generation that has little interest in contributing to the economy. However, that notion needs to change because it is not true!

 

Our youth cares about their future and are looking for avenues to help them find jobs or start businesses. All they need is access to training and support that will empower them to make a start in life and earn a living.

 

Our students have a greater opportunity to be impacted by entrepreneurship coaching sessions that teach principles and values like self-motivation and self-determination.

Our team of accomplished entrepreneurs are developing our youth (aspiring and existing entrepreneurs) into skilled entrepreneurs who are capable of starting and running sustainable businesses, to create jobs for themselves and possibly others too.
