Skills for Rural Youth & Refugees

The Problem In rural Limpopo, talent is equally distributed, but opportunity is not. For many young people in Lenyenye and Tzaneen—including refugees and asylum seekers—the digital economy feels out of reach. Without specialized skills, they face unemployment and limited futures, despite having the potential to drive South Africa’s tech revolution.

The Solution Digital Vexospark is changing this narrative. We are launching an intensive 5-week Cisco-Certified Cybersecurity Bootcamp for 50 talented youth.

This is not just basic computer literacy; this is high-level career training. Our cohort will aim for 70% female participation and will include a mix of local rural youth and displaced persons (refugees/asylum seekers), fostering social cohesion through learning.

How Your Donation Helps We have the venue (with Letaba Wifi) and the expertise, but we need your help to cover the direct costs of training.
