Unity in Africa Foundation Information

The Unity in Africa Foundation focuses on the education and upliftment of young adults - specifically in the areas of Maths and Science in preparation for the engineering field. We believe that improving education is the key to lasting socio-economic transformation in South Africa, through stimulating economic activity and employment, developing active and responsible citizens, and addressing social ills such as poverty, crime and disease. Education is the living force for the future. A good education can lay the foundation for the future of South Africans to make good decisions through critical thinking to live balanced and productive lives. Under the Unity in Africa banner, iGEMS, an education-to-employment initiative, is a 4-phase model which aims to create employable engineers, a programme that speaks directly to industry. We give youth the opportunity to enhance their education and transition through an internship year and onto tertiary education with guaranteed employment once they graduate.
