The scourge of unemployment in rural communities can be tackled by identifying and empowering entrepreneurs, whose small, emerging enterprises can be an effective means of job creation. We identify opportunities and help start-ups, but in particular, we stimulate the potential for income generation through a highly successful skills training programme, and through access to technology. |
