The exclusion of persons with disabilities from the South African economy is not a social tragedy; it is an inefficient design. I founded Socio Skills Foundation because sympathy is a finite resource. Skills are an infinite asset.
Our doctrine replaces the 'charity cup' with an 'investment portfolio'. We are transitioning youth from state dependence to GDP contribution through the deployment of Technical Sovereignty.
