SAB KickStart Enterprise Development Initiative.
SAB launched its KickStart programme in 1995 as a poverty alleviation programme but it has subsequently become a platform to stimulate sustainable enterprise development. Specifically, KickStart promotes business awareness through training, supplying grants as start-up capital and providing post-training mentorship and assistance during the setting-up phase of the business.
Aimed at 18 to 35 year-olds from previously disadvantaged backgrounds, over 22, 700 existing and budding entrepreneurs have already benefited from KickStart and more than 3200 business have been started by KickStart participants. |
