“Encouraging
entrepreneurship is particularly important to face challenges, related to
alarming high youth unemployment rates in most African Countries.
Entrepreneurship and self-employment offer pathways for young people to emerge
from unemployment. In this context special attention is paid to the social
entrepreneurship model which is embedded in the real economy close to the
people and local communities primarily aimed at contributing to the general
good of society.’’ Umwana foundation.
Entrepreneurship is the
birth of self relience and practical leadership. When a country or a continent
has a lot of people who are innovative, people are practising entrepreneurship,
then it is empowered. Nhlanhla once told to me, “We don’t just have to think
outside the box but let us put the box away.’’ This statement resounded the
spirit of entrepreneurship to me. Entrepreneurship has no limit as to what one
can achieve, it has got no prescription on where to start from. You can start
from anywhere, as a matter of fact, other people call entrepreneurship CREATIVE
DESTRUCTION. Knowing the art of
entrepreneurship now sets you at an advantageous pace because you will not need
to depend on the system for your country to make it big in life.
As an entrepreneur,
every opportunity is an an opportunity and every problem is an opportunity as
well. Now is the time to be creative.
Now is the time to make the positive change we yearn. Don’t wait for tomorrow
because tomorrow is not waiting for you, you have the present to live in. Live
fully in the present and make change
which will modify the the face of this world. Nhlanhla once again echoed these
words to me one day, “Read today and lead today, a reader today a leader
today.’’ Don’t wait until they tell you that you are now ready to lead. Be
creative, read and lead today.
Let the child be. Let
the child think creatively and contribute to the advancement of this world
starting when he is still young.
The Umwana foundation
has set a precedent for the next generations. Entrepreneurship is the way to
go.
You have a lot of ideas
within yourself and Umwana wants you to explore them and bring them out. This is the best thing that can ever happen to
you, exploring the field of your mind and knowing that you are more than what
this world wants you to believe. You are fully loaded with ideas.
