OUR MISSION
Breaking the cycle of poverty through tertiary education
At Ignition, our mission transcends education; it’s a commitment to lighting the path towards brighter futures.
Our comprehensive youth development programme offers a unique blend of wrap-around support, including career guidance, mentorship, essential skills training, and psycho-social support, ensuring that each participant not only excels in their tertiary studies, but also steps confidently into a successful and sustainable career.
The journey with Ignition begins in Grade 11, extending through their first undergraduate degree and into the workforce.

Move Alex youth from dependency to financial empowerment and professional growth
