One of the most important things that every student learns is that they part of a greater community, and that this community also needs to constantly grow, change and improve.
Enactus is a community of students, academic and business leaders from around the world who believe an entrepreneurial spirit and action can make a change in the world and in people’s lives. The programme has highlighted and encouraged students from across the globe to create meaningful and impactful social and economic development projects that help to achieve the United Nations 17 sustainable development goals.
Established in 36 countries with over 70, 500 active students participating annually, South Africa has 26 universities involved with the programme, with 3,328 students working on 108 projects and totaling 319,364 volunteered hours in 2016 alone.
