Challenge

South Africa faces a youth unemployment crisis, with 60.2% of young people unable to find work. In Cape Town's Cape Flats, this translates to over 400,000 unemployed youth. The socio-economic impact of COVID-19 has deepened the issue, leaving 52% of South Africans below the food poverty line. This calls for urgent action to empower youth with skills and opportunities to reshape their future.

Solution

Through Seeding Futures, we train 100 unemployed youth each year in the design and implementation of permaculture systems-practical, sustainable solutions that can transform homes, communities, and projects. These hands-on skills boost confidence and resilience while growing opportunities within the local green economy. Graduates also gain experience through job shadow placements, opening pathways to meaningful livelihoods.

Long-Term Impact

Since 2019, 643 youth have graduated from Seeding Futures, creating a ripple effect of change. These young leaders are growing food for their communities, launching green enterprises, and inspiring others to join the movement. Together, we're building a groundswell of action for sustainable transformation, powered by a vision of thriving South African communities led by empowered young changemakers. Join us in growing the future-one seed, one youth, and one opportunity at a time.
