Hustle Economy
A partnership with Wild Impact
The Hustle Economy Programme, spearheaded by Wild Impact with Singita Lowveld Trust (SLT) as an anchor financial partner and other partners, responds to the challenge of youth unemployment in South Africa.
Small and medium enterprises play a significant role in South Africa's economy, contributing approximately 20% to its GDP and employing around 47% of the workforce. These statistics serve as clear evidence that the nation is filled with enterprising individuals, with millions of South Africans surviving by hustling to make ends meet and provide for their families.
The Hustle Economy Programme, facilitated by community-based coordinators, focuses on empowering emerging micro-entrepreneurs to establish sustainable ventures. The range of entrepreneurial opportunities being explored by these hustle-preneurs is diverse. The most common opportunities are spaza shops, hair-care services, informal restaurants, poultry farming, and clothing and accessory retail.

Our biodiversity projects focus on maintaining healthy, well-functioning ecosystems and habitats in the reserves in which Singita operates. These ecosystems are vital for the protection of a diverse range of wildlife, including species of conservation concern, such as rhinos, leopards, lions, wild dogs and vultures.
As we strive for the restoration and regeneration of our rich wilderness landscape, we can’t do this without the support and in collaboration of our communities. Together we're committed to ensuring that people living alongside wilderness areas not only benefit from tourism and conservation jobs but also experience lasting socio-economic growth.
