Welcome

The Women and Youth Empowerment (WYE) Trust was founded in 2018 with the main directive to help solve the “societal problems” of education and employability of women and youth that has been historically left out of the equation. It is our ethical responsibility to give back and help chart a future that allows for equal opportunity.

The WYE Trust will therefore work in partnership with funders, donors, and Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Schemes to the benefit of the beneficiaries of the Trust (Women and Youth) to ensure access to quality education post-school and education for employability.

Business Development Assistance

The WYE Trust works with organisations which choose to develop and enhance their business operation. The intent of Business Development Assistance is to craft Enterprise and Supplier Development Solutions that would be beneficial to all stakeholders.
