Umsizi Fund has supported WAVE to test moonshot goals like figuring out how to assess soft skills and match jobseekers based on compatibility. We invested in capacity building for the WAVE team and helped them recruit new partners and supporters.
“Umsizi Fund has been a true partner in every sense of the word, fully aligning with our mission to level the playing field for every young African to access the skills and the economic opportunity to become what they imagine. They have provided patient and flexible capital, always based on the question of "where can our funding be most helpful for you right now?" and recognizing that those at the frontline should get to decide where/how capital is deployed. Our impact to date would not be possible without the trust-based impact-focused long-term partnership we have developed with the Umsizi Fund.”
