Real tools,
local hands.
We invest in the people and communities we operate in, not only in the businesses we serve. From skills development to youth entrepreneurship, we back initiatives that put real technology and real opportunity into local hands.
Giving young people a website and a store of their own.
Futech has teamed up with JND to launch a hands-on programme that teaches young people in Mpumalanga how to design, build and launch their own websites and online stores. JND supplies the internet connectivity to the servers and infrastructure behind the programme. Participants work with real tools on real projects, and walk away with a live website, a working store, and the skills to keep growing it.
Two companies, one programme.
Futech
Futech provides the technology backbone: hosting, infrastructure and hands-on support, so each participant's website and store actually goes live and stays online.
JND
JND supplies the internet connectivity to the servers and infrastructure behind the programme, and works alongside participants through the design and build process.
