As you might be aware that SEM Cares Foundation will be Launching their Foundation this coming Saturday at The George Hotel in Manzini starting at 2 pm till late. According to their latest blog post, The Youth being the cornerstone of development and economic growth in Eswatini is evident in the high population of young people which stands at 79%; however, this cannot be realized if they are subjected to a number of relentless challenges.
Dominant to these are the issues of Unemployment, Access to all health services especially sexual reproductive health services, Access to Education including remaining in school and eventually accessing tertiary education to name a few. With the youth population so high it means they are the ones most affected by social ills such as crime, drug and substance abuse and fall victim to being incarcerated in the countries prisons.
It is critical to get the foundation phase right so that our youth is set up for success. Throughout 2019 the SEM Cares Foundation team will be working tirelessly to fulfil its mission and vision. But they can’t do it alone. They are Calling out for your help!
According to the Eswatini State of The Youth Report, Our Youth are the future, and investing in the youth of today means a brighter future for the entire country tomorrow. Nowhere is this more true than in Africa, where changing demographics are creating a unique opportunity to harness the potential of young people to accelerate development.
This is why the organization was formed and have the following objectives based on its operations:
- To provide Foundation courses, education, and mentorship services to the youth on its career paths, in order to influence career decision making choices at an early stage.
- To provide intimate and social support services to the youth in order to draw them closer to society and create a warm environment around them.
- To provide quality service in terms of service delivery in the market, new business ideas, and equal distribution of labour according to the level of production in the market.
- To create a flexible market, and distribution of labour in the trade industry, in order to maintain existing customers and provide employment opportunities to the society.
- To start income generating activities geared towards empowering the youth economically
