**SayPro The five pillars of the KZN Youth Economic Empowerment Strategy

The youth of South Africa are key to the country’s future. With a rapidly-growing population and an ever-changing economy, it is essential that the youth have the opportunity to be successful. The KZN Youth Economic Empowerment Strategy (YES) is designed to empower these young people and give them the skills and resources they need to reach their full potential. The five pillars of the YES strategy are: education and employment, entrepreneurship and business development, culture and sports, infrastructure, and health and well-being. By addressing these key areas, YES aims to equip the youth with the skills and resources they need to thrive in today’s economy.


With joblessness among the youth in Kwa-Zulu Natal rising, it’s time to do something. Introducing SayPro – a comprehensive youth economic empowerment strategy that aims to create jobs, increase income and improve futures for more than one million young people in the province by 2025.

Do you remember the time when your parents said you had to take a certain path in life? These were special times where you learnt about values, aspirational goals, and how to make decisions that are right for you. You quickly understood what you wanted to achieve in life and knew it wasn’t easy. But with SayPro, every kid has the chance to be empowered by economic opportunities.

The KZN Youth Economic Empowerment Strategy is going a long way in creating pathways for youth development and success. Our SayPro pillars are designed to promote young people’s development by encouraging entrepreneurship, mentorship, and education.

The pillars of the KZN Youth Economic Empowerment Strategy are: Education, Jobs, Entrepreneurship, Financial Literacy and Youth Participation.

We all know how tough it is to find a job when you’re young and looking for experience. So, when a company like SayPro proactively invests in its employees, encouraging them to expand their skillset and grow with the company, we know it’s serious about helping them succeed.

SayPro understands that investing in youth is key to making sure the future workforce is ready for growth and opportunities. That’s why they’ve created the KZN Youth Economic Empowerment Strategy – a comprehensive plan aimed at empowering young people in our communities by providing them with training, employment, and entrepreneurship opportunities.

Some companies are taking a stand on social issues; others are setting an example for what it means to be a leader in our community. SayPro is leading the way by investing in the future of our youth by making sure that they have access to quality education and career development programs while also providing them with the tools to become successful entrepreneurs.
