Hands-Up for Reaching Potential (HURP) offers a comprehensive solution to these pressing issues. Our initiative is designed to empower unemployed youth by providing them with high-quality, accredited education and training in ICT skills, retail, and hospitality. By addressing the root causes of unemployment and educational neglect, we help young people rewrite their own stories and build a brighter future.
In South Africa’s Eastern Cape, unemployment has reached a staggering 42.4%, leaving many young people in a state of vulnerability and despair. This high rate of unemployment is compounded by substance abuse, inadequate access to education, and early school dropouts. A significant portion of youth face barriers such as poor foundational skills in math and literacy, which further hinder their ability to pursue higher education and secure stable employment.
Hands-Up for Reaching Potential (HURP) is dedicated to addressing these critical issues through targeted rural development initiatives. Our comprehensive approach empowers unemployed youth by providing access to accredited education and training in ICT skills, retail, hospitality, and foundational skills. We are committed to giving young people the tools they need to overcome their circumstances and build a better future for themselves.
