SEPA Project
Astrong entrepreneurial foundation among young people builds a strong future economy Schools Entrepreneurship Productive Activity (SEPA)
SEPA is a tripartite programme of teachers, students/pupils and the parents/guardian to enhance personal and community entrepreneurship skills and business behavior of a pupil or student based on four principles of shared and inclusive growth namely; Service to Society for Success and Sustainable communities here referred to as “4-S”. The program seeks to advance a strong School Teacher to Family Household Entrepreneurship Activities (ST-FHEA) - through student/pupil effective engagement in home enterprises development and WASH activities including community shared responsibility as volunteers for community shared good. Through SEPA activities, UNEDI prepares young people ahead of life challenges, provides them with high-impact entrepreneurial life skills, in-school career guidance and mentorship towards self-actualization and social good. We mentor young people to build the culture of social good through volunteerism based on entrepreneurship cultural thought. SEPA implements two activities and these are: a) to onboard schools into UNEDI partnership and to organizes young people into 4SE Clubs in schools for high impact entrepreneurship development; b) develop 4s Volunteers who go communities and household to provide socio-economic services such as backward climate smart farming, greening of community roads through tree planting, Access to Clean water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) paving of communal pathways, creative art Music, dance and drama performance among other activities
