I had the incredible privilege of attending This Day Foundation's Thank You Celebration in London. I was accompanied by a remarkable young lady named Inga Mnukwa. Inga was a participant in DigiLink, a work integrated learning programme for the digital sector powered by Harambee. It was truly humbling to have the opportunity to share more about the work of Harambee and to listen to Inga's inspirational story. She shared how she navigated township life in Khayelitsha and her journey to becoming employed as a junior test analyst at BMW SA. Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator is deeply grateful to This Day Foundation for their strategic partnership and long-term commitment to our mission. #changinglivestogether | BMW IT Hub South Africa | DigiLink powered by Harambee

Unlocking Investment in Early Childhood Development: Essential Steps to Launching a Catalytic Fund We are excited to share a resource for catalysing investment in early childhood development (ECD).
