South Africa faces a critical challenge – the highest youth unemployment rate in the world. An overwhelming 77.4% of young people aged 15 to 24 are without jobs, standing on the sidelines, eager to work but lacking the opportunity to do so. This crisis affects their current state of living and dims their future prospects, leaving them without hope of securing meaningful employment.

At the Sozo Foundation, we believe this crisis is solvable. Through education, skills training, and comprehensive support, we’re opening doors to employment and a chance for a brighter future.
