Citizen Connect and the Social Employment Fund’s intention is to provide part-time, temporary employment to previously unemployed South Africans across diverse sectors, all while contributing to the capacity and resilience of individuals, and our partners’ projects, as well as to the common good—or the social economy, as we like to say—and to a healthier environment, fostering more sustainable and equitable futures.
Part-time work leaves people with enough time to pursue other opportunities, as well as to take care of their other responsibilities. It also provides participants with proof of their participation and skills developed, enhancing their chances of further employment or engaging in other income-generating activities. Moreover, it offers participants a chance to connect with their potential and to lead productive and meaningful lives.
The Citizen Connect Program and SEF’s commitment to collaboration, sustainability, and positive impact is a testament to its dedication to creating a brighter future for communities. Join us on this journey of empowerment, growth, and change.
