Dignity to Prosperity Summit
Young people have ability, ambition and ideas — but too often lack networks, market information, finance, training and visible opportunities. This launch is designed to connect, equip and empower through mentorship, role models, practical learning, funding guidance and registration pathways.
We connect youth, partners and possibilities — turning talent into opportunity, opportunity into prosperity, and prosperity into dignity.
18 March 2027 · University of Johannesburg, Soweto
Unemployment is a challenge. It is not your identity.
You should not have to wait passively for opportunity. Bring your talent, creativity and ideas into a conversation about learning, building experience, starting a business or finding a route into work.
A partnership between Ramoupi Lifestyle Investments and U CAN Grow Africa.
