Who is IAWA?

Founded on the philosophy of Ubuntu, or “I am because we are,” I Am, We Are (IAWA pronounced eye-ow-wa) strives to empower youth with the tools to confidently own their future.

We give our ambassadors an understanding of self, stretch their belief in who they can be, and teach them how to apply the principles of entrepreneurship to create the future they envision for themselves.

 

A nurturing environment where tomorrow's leaders are cultivated.

With the youth employment rate averaging 51%, South Africa has one of the highest youth unemployment rates in the world. IAWA is focused on empowering youth with the fortitude and skills to overcome the barriers they face pursuing their dreams.
