ENKE

enke means ‘Ink' in SeTswana and ‘take it' in SeSotho and that's what we do. We empower youth to be the authors of their futures by seizing opportunities that will change their lives and those of their communities forever. We help young people make their mark... enke exists to reverse negative trends that affect youth. We believe in building inherent assets and developing entrepreneurial mindsets and non-cognitive skills, creating agents of social responsibility, innovation and entrepreneurship... According to Nobel Peace Prize winner, James Heckman, social and emotional competencies are at least as important as technical skills when determining employability, earnings and career success. Unlike universities who focus on academic and technical skills, enke focuses on the ‘soft' skills. We look to enable youth to thrive beyond the classroom. We aim to reclaim and re-write the story of disproportinoately impacted youth. We want the youth to make their mark.
