What we do

SHUTWWEP uses a multiple dimensional approach to collaborate with public and private enterprises and organisations to initiate and promote sustainable interventions that are smartly developed and are youth friendly.

Sustainable Youth Enterprise Development

Programme 1

Sustainable Youth Enterprise Development

SHUTWWEP has highlighted the importance of small enterprises to stimulate economic growth, to alleviate unemployment and for income redistribution. It also recognises that small enterprises are underdeveloped and proper support is needed so that these enterprises can play a larger role in the economic activities of rural communities.

Skills Training and Development

Programme 2

Skills Training and Development

In addition to improving employability and labour productivity, our critical skills training and development programmes aim to provide the learners with the skills, values, attitude and competences that will help them to become more responsive to the demands of today's workplace. The programme also aims to reduce school drop outs from High schools to tertiary level.

Sports and Recreation

Programme 3

Sports and Recreation

Our Sports and Recreation programmes focus on providing access to sports for the youth. Various sports disciplines are promoted to empower the youth with the skills and competences to be competitive in sports. Sports and recreation has also been highlighted as a major element in the promotion of mental health among the youth.

Integrated Nutrition for Sustainable Development

Programme 4

Integrated Nutrition for Sustainable Development

The Integrated Nutrition for Sustainable Development Programme (FEED) is not just a food handout or soup kitchen or feeding scheme that usually result into laziness and perpetual dependence. Our FEED Programme is a uniquely Smart Agriculture Programme centered around an innovative and integrated approach to nutrition as a rural development strategy.

Menstrual Health and Hygiene

Programme 5

Menstrual Health and Hygiene

In many parts of South Africa most particularly in rural areas girls are not prepared and aware about menstruation so they face many difficulties and challenges at home, schools, and work places as they grapple with the management of their menstrual cycles. Proper management of menstruation, menstrual hygiene and menstrual cycles is critical to the improvement of many girls' quality of life.

School-to-Work Transition Support

Programme 6

School-to-Work Transition Support

Promoting a smooth transition from school to work, and ensuring that the youth are given the opportunities to move on in their careers and lives, is an issue of fundamental importance in South Africa. Today, there are even more pressing challenges as the South African economy emerges from the worst health crisis in 100 years. We also initiate and promote programmes that have a direct impact on keeping children in schools.
