Invest in a pathway built around outcomes
POPA offers a permanent delivery platform through which government institutions, SETAs, corporates, foundations and other partners can fund specific youth employment and enterprise programmes.

A platform beyond one funder

Evidence of delivery capacity
POPA is supported by Mafoko Global's operating businesses, established retail and franchise experience, workforce, managers, systems and employer relationships. Delivery will expand through accredited sites, workplace partners, provincial venues and controlled digital infrastructure.
