About Us
Helping the most vulnerable and despondent in our community.
SHUTWWEP PBO works with women and youth in rural and emerging areas, partnering with private and government institutions to implement interventions that respond to real socio-economic challenges.
The organisation focuses on long-term empowerment. Its programmes are intended to build critical skills, support livelihoods, and create the conditions for sustainable small enterprise growth rather than one-off relief alone.
Focus Areas
Programmes built around empowerment, access, and long-term capability.
These priority areas come directly from the SHUTWWEP home materials and now anchor the homepage instead of generic placeholder themes.
Skills Training and Development
Learning opportunities are designed to build competence, confidence, and usable workplace and enterprise skills.
Youth Capability Enhancement
Young people are supported with the knowledge, values, and tools they need to grow into leadership and opportunity.
Youth Enterprise Development
We back sustainable youth enterprise creation instead of short-term fixes that end when a project cycle closes.
Feed Programme
Direct community support remains part of the work so vulnerable households are not excluded from participation.
Sports and Recreation
Recreation is used as a community-building tool that keeps young people engaged, visible, and supported.
Innovation and Inclusion
Capability enhancement that connects technology, design thinking, and opportunity.
SHUTWWEP's source material frames innovation as practical community work: creating opportunities in technology, innovation, people management, and design thinking while keeping women and youth at the centre.

Our overall objective is to create an enabling environment for target communities to tackle socio-economic challenges by providing the skills, competences, values, knowledge, and tools they need to achieve their full potential.
A long-term empowerment lens
SHUTWWEP's original home copy is clear on one point: women and youth empowerment should not be driven by quick fixes. Programmes should produce skills, jobs, and sustainable small enterprise outcomes that last beyond the immediate intervention.
Core Belief
Women need to be empowered in order to reshape the perception of how they view themselves.
Partners and Support
Partnered and lotto funded
