IkamvaYouth I Social Franchising Accelerator
IkamvaYouth (Ikamva) is a non-governmental organisation that assists disadvantaged youth to obtain tertiary education and/ or employment. Ikamva was founded in 2003 when Joy Olivier and Makhosi Gogwana began tutoring learners on Saturday mornings at Makhosi’s old high school. What started as a Saturday morning ‘hobby’ eventually grew into a registered organisation, supporting learners in the township of Khayelitsha in Cape Town, South Africa. Today, IkamvaYouth has spread to 5 provinces in South Africa, with branches in 10 communities. Over 3100 learners have gone through its programme.
