Finally! Our first moonshot is up

The First Elevate Booth Placed in Katanga. The oft used proverb; a journey of one thousand miles begins with one step reads a lot different for a social entrepreneur: the journey of one step comprises thousands of miles! Three years ago we dreamt of a journey in which we would empower young people who many would refer to as the underserved; youth in slums, refugee camps and impoverished communities.

What a thrilling year this has been! as we get close to the completion of Elevate 19. Empowerment really never gets old. This cohort is proving to us that Talent is evenly distributed but the opportunity is not, a lot of the young people we are working with are exceptionally very talented, the only thing that was keeping them under the rage of poverty is lack of opportunity. We have continued to create more seats at the table the best way we know-how – cultivating skills in design, art, technology, and entrepreneurship.

We want to build a successful social business that lifts young people out of poverty, by offering them work other than giving them money.
