About Our Organization

[Excerpt from the NDP]

“This plan envisions a South Africa where everyone feels free yet bounded to others; where everyone embraces  their  full  potential,  a  country  where opportunity  is  determined  not  by  birth,  but  by ability,  education  and  hard  work.  Realising such a society will require transformation of the economy and focused efforts to build the country’s capabilities. To eliminate poverty and reduce inequality, the economy must grow faster and in ways that benefit all South Africans. In particular, young   people   deserve   better educational   and   economic   opportunities, and focused efforts are required to eliminate gender inequality.  Promoting gender equality and greater opportunities for young people are integrated themes that run throughout this plan.”

We therefore aim to work towards the support of a better South Africa through the following investment vehicles:

• Funders – organisations that wish to provide funding for a specific purpose linked to the women and youth development agenda of The WYE Trust. Funding will be managed via service level agreements and transparent reporting between the Trust and the Funder.

• Donors – individuals or organisations who wishes to sponsor or co-sponsor a project and/or and individual that is a beneficiary of The WYE Trust.

• Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Schemes – Broad-based Ownership Schemes “BBOS” will be considered and ratified through consultation and ensuring all legal requirements are met as set out by the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Commission.
