Lives Changed. Careers Launched.

Hear from TPP graduates and the employers who hired them.

"Before TPP I had no qualifications and no hope of breaking into tech. Six months later I am a CompTIA A+ certified IT Technician earning a salary that has changed my family's life. TPP does not just train you — they believe in you when you have stopped believing in yourself."

IT Technician at TechCorp SA · IT Support & Networking

"I dropped out of school in Grade 10 to look after my siblings. I thought my chance at a career was gone. TPP found me through a community outreach programme and put me on the Azure pathway. I am now earning more than anyone in my household has ever earned. I cry every time I think about it."

"We signed a TPP MOU twelve months ago and have hired four graduates. Every single one has exceeded our expectations. The training quality is excellent, but more than that — these young people are hungry, grateful, and driven. TPP is the best talent pipeline we have ever worked with."

"TPP is not charity — it is economic engineering. We are converting untapped human capital into productive economic contributors, one certification at a time."

Scaling Impact Across South Africa

TPP is designed to scale. What begins as 50 youth in Year 1 becomes 500 annually by 2030 — systematically expanding as funding grows and the employer network deepens.

2026 (Year 1) Target: 50 youth · R 900,000
2027 (Year 2) Target: 120 youth · R 2,100,000
2028 (Year 3) Target: 200 youth · R 3,500,000
2030 (Year 5) Target: 500 youth · R 8,500,000

The Ripple Effect

When a young person from a township or rural community secures stable employment:

  • 3–5 household members benefit from the income
  • Educational outcomes improve for younger siblings
  • Community spending increases, supporting local businesses
  • Role models are created, inspiring others

There Is No Passive Way to Change South Africa.

Whether you can give R500 or R500,000 — there is a role for you in The People's Program.
