R39.2 million invested. 12,180 youth empowered. Another year of progress towards our 2035 goal of empowering 500,000 young South Africans.
Our FY2026 Integrated Impact Report puts those topline numbers into context, showing where progress translated into employment, business growth and learning outcomes.
Skills Development recorded 7,274 employment placements, moving the focus beyond training alone and into access to work. Through Entrepreneurship Development, 1 241 youth entrepreneurs were supported and 24.5% revenue growth was recorded, showing progress in both reach and business growth. And through Education Development, 14,983 learners were reached, alongside a 16% improvement in literacy and numeracy.
Progress across these programmes is strengthened by the partners and people who invest in the same goal. In FY2026, R1 million was contributed through Hope4Youth in-store donations, alongside funding from Mr Price Group, corporate partners and the public. These partnerships form part of the people, partnerships and systems we are putting in place to support the remaining years of our strategy.
What we have learnt this year will help guide how we sharpen our ex*****on and keep investing in the interventions that create the greatest value for young people.
