Creating 2 million job opportunities

How our leadership schools are staffed:
For every 1000 young leaders in our program, we provide 11 mentors, 67 previous year matriculants (coaches), 29 food team members and 2 overseers with employment, a total of 109 jobs. A further 30 jobs are created with our added association with Pro Africa and Nourish the Children who provide our feeding component.
Our vision to feed 14 million impoverished children in South Africa will require the establishment of planting factories providing huge opportunities for business ownership and employment. 
Each factory employs 40 - 50 people and will be run on a franchise system. This initiative will create in excess of 2 million job opportunities. The first step to achieving this goal took place in February 2010 when the first four prospective business owners started their apprenticeship with Pro Africa.

“Every child I know who overcame long odds and grew into a responsible adult can point to an adult who stepped into his or her life as a friend, a mentor, and a guide.” - S. Truett Cathy, Founder of  Chic-fil-A
