Project description
Nhloso Likusasa Le'lichakazile (NLL) is a nonprofit organization established in 2014 in Eswatini to empower young adults to take charge of their futures. Our mission is to give youth in Eswatini opportunities to acquire and apply skills and access resources that improve their employability, income-generating potential, and long-term well-being.
NLL’s work is grounded in the belief that skilled and educated Eswatini youth who can generate income will not only uplift themselves and their families but also contribute to stronger communities and a better Eswatini.
The Peace Corps Response Volunteer (PCRV) is needed to help lay the foundation for these social enterprise models. NLL is scaling rapidly and has a broad vision for the future — including an Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) Centre, recycled learning materials, expanded internship placements, career development outreach in schools, and a Career Ambassadors programme. Future plans also include enhancing support for youth with disabilities and GBV survivors, promoting peri-urban recycled gardens, and deepening reach through collaborations with CSOs and a Train-the-Trainer model.
The PCRV will help develop viable business models for the Centre, Thubelihle, and the Khangisa Shop, co-design business packages, conduct market research, and build tools that support long-term sustainability.
