Giving young people the tools to boost their skills, improve their employability and enhance their innovative ability as entrepreneurs.
Our Mission
We forge collaborative relationships with institutions and organisations that work towards the development of opportunities for young people. Our work involves both regional & international partners, but we especially encourage local SME’s to recognise emerging talent and open their doors to proactive and enthusiastic young people.
We have a variety of online training materials aimed at improving an array of skills. Use our resource to acquire practical skills like how to build a successful e-business or how to program with Python.
To get to the next level you first must have the right tools. So start now and teach yourself something new.
There are not enough vibrant industries capable of absorbing the growing number of graduates. Over the years, schemes designed to create employment like apprenticeships and internships have received little investment or attention despite their proven effectiveness. As a consequence, domestic youth unemployment is rising.
Different Initiatives for Saving Hope (DISH) would like encourage young people to realise their potential by becoming innovative and entrepreneurial. We believe these young entrepreneurs should be enabled and equipped to tap into the limitless opportunities contained in all sectors, as well as spurred on to redevelop existing established industries.
It is expected that small non-agricultural household enterprises in both rural and urban areas and the agricultural sector will account for the majority of new jobs in the future. DISH wants to make this prediction a reality.

Our programs are designed to help all entrepreneurs on the various stages of their business journey.
This program is designed for future entrepreneurs with the right dreams but little access to funding to start up their ‘ready-to-go’ business.
We encourage schools to award the gifted & talented. This program is set up to provide schools with trophies that they may give to their best/highest performing students. Building the esteem of young people with rewards and positive affirmation is crucial in setting them up for success in the future.
Some businesses work better through collaboration. This program aims to connect individuals in similar or complementary industries in order to network and ultimately work together.
The Enterprise Network Program is for individuals with innovations that are market-changing or disruptive but do not have access to the right people.
