Vision: A world where young people across Africa have access to world-class education and career opportunities, empowering them to lead, innovate, and drive sustainable, transformative change in their communities.
The Shasha Approach: At Shasha Network, we believe that what keeps many young people from accessing the right education opportunities is a lack of information and mentorship. Our digital platform is designed to empower young people aged 16-24 with soft skills and personal development tools We focus on:
- Essential Soft Skills: Enhancing communication, opportunity search, and mentorship capabilities
- Digital Learning: Breaking barriers through accessible online education
- Career Development: Our Shasha Bridge program provides crucial guidance for aspiring professionals
Our Impact: Since the inception of our Bridge program, Shasha Network has made significant strides in empowering African youth:
- We've worked with 4,000 young people across 19 African countries, with the majority coming form Zimbabwe, Zambia, Ghana, Rwanda and Kenya
- Shasha scholars have gone on to study at top universities worldwide, including the University of Cambridge, University of Rochester, and Yale
- Our goal to reach 50 million youths falls within the context of Africa's booming population projected to grow beyond 2 billion by 2050. We are betting on our youths to build the future of their communities
