Why jipungwayi was started
At Jipungwayi, our vision is to see healthier, happier young people empowered to become the best versions of themselves. We believe that when young people are supported to build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of identity, they are better equipped to step into meaningful careers and contribute positively to their communities.
For us, it’s not just about creating opportunities — it’s about shaping pathways. Over time, our goal is to improve work readiness and workforce participation among youth, ensuring they can pursue careers that align with their passions and values. In doing so, they will be surrounded by like-minded people who share their drive for positive change, creating a ripple effect that strengthens the entire community.
Guided by this vision, we design and deliver programs that nurture wellbeing, cultural pride, and life skills — laying the foundation for a future where young people thrive, both personally and professionally.
