NGWANA ENTERPRISES: CEO

APPRECIATION REMARKS

Ngwana Enterprises is very proud to announce

the success of the School Entrepreneurship

camp for the second consecutive year. The

success and impact of this caamp confirms that

indeed “Entrepreneurship has become a

phenomenon that is increasingly widespread

around the world”. Nascent entrepreneurial

activity—among students in Botswana has

shown a need to explore differences in types

and phases of the entrepreneurship process.

Fostering entrepreneurial awareness and

positive attitudes towards entrepreneurship are

high on the policy agenda of several economies

and schools in the Sub-Saharan Africa Region-

with more specific interest to factor driven

economies like Botswana. Ngwana Enterprises

strongly believe Entrepreneurship is the only

solution to unemployment in Botswana but

then again we believe that for any one to take

that route they should have grown up with that

kin of mentality, so learners should be fully

equipped at an early stage with an

entrepreneurial mindset. A society can benefit

from entrepreneurs of all ages.

The 2014 Entrepreneurship Camp has proven

that Entrepreneurship Education is a great way

to teach basic subjects to children who are

failing to learn through traditional academic

approaches, because it provides concrete

incentives. Entrepreneurship education teaches

young people that they can create jobs for

themselves and do not have to be victims of this

economic downturn but rather view it as an

opportunity to start a business. It also makes

them more employable because by running

their own small businesses, they learn how

business works and what makes an employee

valuable.

Most impactful at the 2014 camp is the fact

most of the learners where in agreement to the

fact that Entrepreneurship Education gets

cynical teens excited about school again, and

about their futures. It teaches them that they

can participate in our economy and make

money. They quickly realize that to do so, they

must to learn to read, write and do math.

Owning even the simplest small business fills a

teen with pride.

There are factual recommendations and

impacts such as Entrepreneurship education

empowering young people to make well-

informed decisions about their future, whether

they choose to become entrepreneurs or not.

They have become aware of five assets that

every individual has: time, talent, attitude,

energy and unique knowledge of their

communities. They have learned to use these

assets strategically as they move along in their

careers which may include creating businesses

and jobs, and building wealth in their

communities.

NGWANA ENTERPRISES is sincerely grateful to

all partners and stakeholders and sponsors who

will continue to support this camp to develop

the economy of Botswana. An appreciation and

recognition is extended to our international

partners who avail resources and funding that

makes our initiatives reach global channels and

ecosystems of entrepreneurs.
