TEKSTILA is excited to announce our collaboration with the incredible SLUMSHAKERS project, a groundbreaking initiative that aims to provide a global vision and empower students in social entrepreneurship.
TEKSTILA is proud to be part of this transformative project that is revolutionizing education in African slums. Together with educators, students, and other companies, we are becoming real agents of sustainable economic development. Our involvement in the SLUMSHAKERS project directly aligns with SDG 4 of the 2030 Agenda: ensuring inclusive, equitable, and quality education, and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all.
The solution is to provide an annual practical experience for high school students, which will focus on the improvement of three informal schools in the slum of Viwandani. The programme will run for one year and will take place during the school year. The students will be required to develop an entrepreneurial project that will give sustainability to the programme, innovate the business model and get involved in the improvement of slum education.
The families of the slum will see how the youngest children receive a good education, and become a real hope that tomorrow they will be able to get a job that will improve their living conditions. In addition, thanks to the scholarships, we create an incentive for students and families to prioritise the education of the youngest ones.
TEKSTILA, fashion stocks, is committed to making a positive impact and shaping a brighter future for communities worldwide through education and empowerment. We invite you to join us in our mission to inspire change and create opportunities for a better tomorrow!
