About This Project

"It takes a child to raise a village"


Do you remember when you were a child? 


Remember your ideas and crazy dreams? 


Who did you want to be like? What did you want to change?


Children are often, by their nature and standing, the most vulnerable and under-valued members of our society. Children are also, by nature, creative and entrepreneurial. 


Yet, the majority of business and social innovation programs are offered at under-graduate level or higher.


Our philosophy is embodied in the statement “it takes a child to raise a village”.


Provided the opportunities, children have great capacity for entrepreneurialism and innovation. The Academy for Young Entrepreneurs (AYE) wants to ensure this is harnessed
before they ‘grow up’.

About the founding organisation


AYE has been founded by Hope Empowered. Hope Empowered is an organisation that works in the gap between traditional welfare and mainstream employment and training models. We utilise creativity, mentoring and entrepreneurship
as tools to engage and empower vulnerable people.
