The Design Your Future project, funded by the Solon Foundation, was created to support Moya Centre alumni who couldn’t qualify for the government scholarship due to low performance. It is similar to the national program Nhloso Likusasa Lelichakazile, but designed to fit the needs of our alumni. Since its launch in 2020, the project has helped students by paying for short trade school courses, giving them a living allowance, and offering a full year of life skills training. This life skills program teaches students how to handle real-life challenges after finishing school. Moya once they complete their course. This helps them feel more committed and take ownership of their Education.
In 2025, eight students were chosen to join the program and are now studying in different fields. This support is very important for our alumni, especially because youth unemployment in Eswatini is very high. The program gives young people a chance to learn useful skills, find jobs they enjoy, and build a better future. By giving students, the training and support they need, the Design Your Future project helps them grow both personally and professionally. It gives them hope, confidence, and the tools to succeed in a tough job market, while also helping them follow their dreams.
Through this program students attend monthly workshops, that equip them knowledge enabling them to develop life skills that not only increase their employability but also help them find fulfilling work in areas they are passionate about. By equipping these students with the necessary training and resources, the program contributes significantly to their long-term success, allowing them to create a stable livelihood while pursuing something they love. In a country with such a dire unemployment situation, programs like this play a critical role in both the personal and professional growth of our alumni, fostering a sense of purpose and empowerment within a broader societal context.
