Mr. Price Foundation and Jopper Group to deal with the unemployment of youth

A cooperation between the MR Price Foundation and the digital payment platform, Jabbur, is aimed at fighting South Africa’s pressing youth unemployment crisis. This partnership will make donations and awareness for the Hope 4 UUTE campaign, which will equip young people with skills and economic opportunities.

This effort improves the digital payment technology of jabber, which makes it easy to contribute to individuals and businesses. Users can scan a QR code to donate directly to the Mr. Price Foundation established by the Mr. Brias Committee two decades ago.

From the beginning, the group noted that the Mr. Price Foundation has focused on improving South African youth, especially 15-34 years of unemployment with an unemployment rate. The lack of quality education, limited capacity development and dull economic growth continues to stimulate this crisis. Expanding efforts like Hope 4 YouT has increased in an increasingly urgency.

“We have the opportunity to expedite our plans and go faster for young people through our partnership with Jabbur,” said Mr. Price Foundation Managing Director Octavius ​​Fugubi.

“If every Jopper user and merchant contributes a small donation, we can pay a monument to the economic admission and economic development aspirations of the youth,” he said.

How do donations support the growth of young people

Funds support the three main youth authority programs: Jumpstart, Uplift and Eduris. These efforts focus on the young South Africans with critical skills and job opportunities.

Established in 2015, Jumpstart has trained more than 57 500 youths, and more than 33 000 people have been employed. In the last year alone, 7 252 unemployed youths were trained, and 90% of people found jobs in retail, manufacturing and tourism.

Uplift, which raised entrepreneur, helped 154 young business owners last year. This program helps to measure small businesses in retail, recycling and technology industry.

Eduris focuses on improving literacy, number and entrepreneurship skills. By 2024, it benefited over 25 000 learners in 40 backward elementary schools, facing underground education challenges.

How to change the technical driving change?

“We are working on using our technology not only to facilitate transactions, but also to make meaningful social change. We are facing the support of South Africa’s youth by creating a platform in proven youth development projects.

Since its launch in 2014, Jopper has grown up to serve more than one million customers and can access an additional 15 million users through partner apps. By the end of 2025, the company aims to raise R500 000 to Hope 4 YouTut.

This application will promote the campaign through Bush notifications and geo-lecture message, which promotes national participation.

“This is a partnership power,” Fugupi said. “Each donation will open up opportunities for a bright future. With skill development, we can confirm that every young man has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of the background. ”
