My Story
My name is Didintle Ntsie, I am 24 years old, I am from a township in South Africa called Ga-Rankuwa. I'm currently studying social entrepreneurship in Sweden under the International Youth Initiative Program together with 40 other students from all over the world. This campaign is aimed at getting financial assistance to continue my studies in this enriching and unique program.
The Impact
I am an aspiring Social entrepreneur and believe that social entrepreneurship has the potential to add so much more to so many more lives. Some of the most important solutions to global stability lie within this sector.
There are many examples of social entrepreneurs that have made a difference in the course and direction of humanity. I do believe that I have what it takes to be a positive, strong force in this realm.
The finances from this campaign will go towards paying the rest of my fees which will allow me to focus fully on what is being offered on the program.
I am the only participant from the entire continent of Africa, I strongly believe that my presence on the course is of high importance. My presence brings a different aspect to conversations and discussions as do all the other participants from the different parts of the world. I feel that it is my responsibility to do my best to ensure that my voice is included.
I am a firm believer that money (or the lack thereof) should NEVER be allowed to prevent people from reaching for the nourishment (of any kind) that they seek. Money should never prevent us from giving our best and from receiving the best.
Since being a part of the YIP program I have grown in ways I never previously thought possible, a whole world has been opened to me where deep questions and challenges have been presented to me probing me for answers and solutions to those questions and challenges.
I am nowhere near discovering all that this program offers and believe that continuing on the course is essential for my journey of life.
If I don't raise enough money, I may not be able to continue on the program.
