Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator is a not for profit social enterprise with extensive experience building solutions and innovations that can solve the global youth unemployment challenge. We partner in South Africa and Rwanda with business, government, young people and many others who are committed to results that can work at scale.
Harambee, together with our partners in and outside of South Africa, have heeded governments calls to take aggressive action in curbing the spread of COVID-19. Our 10-point plan continues to guide our approach to Be Safe, Be Smart, Be Kind (see https://harambee.co.za/hearing-from-harambee-our-top-10-actions-for-covid-19/). Throughout this remote working period, we have been engaging with our teams through various channels and learning new ways of working. Each day, the Harambee community has a Daily Standup Call to provide the latest updates on the pandemic and its impact, to communicate our responses and to keep the team feeling connected.
We have found creative ways to keep young people supported throughout this period and this week launched the 3 Million in 3 Weeks campaign. This campaign aims to reach more than 3 million young people across South Africa during the lockdown to help them stay informed, be smart, change their behaviours to be safe and be agents of change for their families and communities. The campaign is inviting eligible organisations in South Africa to join this initiative where we will give you easy access to credible content that you can use to reach young people in your network. Much of the content can be applied to other African contexts
