The Pathways to Information event(s) are an opportunity for the Bertha Centre in partnership with Huruma Bantfu, a black-owned strategic consulting company specialising in corporate governance, CSI and business development in industries and sectors throughout Africa, to connect young people to opportunities and information.

The intention and purpose of the Pathways to Information convening, is to share information and opportunities where young people live and to give them a space to interact with the different organisations offering various opportunities in attendance. Organisations in the past have included: Harambee; Jobstarter; Raymond Ackerman Academy for Entrepreneurial Development; College of Cape Town; False Bay College; CodeX; The Department of Social Development; The Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development; and a series of local entrepreneurs.

Lack of access to information and youth unemployment remain a serious socio-economic concern faced by young people in the township communities. To quote a young person we worked with, “we don’t know what we don’t know, I don’t know what’s out there”.
