Work with dignity and opportunities

BOETA is a social enterprise in South Africa that creates sustainable employment for people who have difficulty accessing the job market. Through training, guidance, and fair work, employees not only receive an income but also gain perspective, self-confidence, and stability in their lives.

Why

In South Africa, many people live in conditions where structural unemployment, poverty, and inequality are a daily reality. Without access to decent work, entire families remain trapped in a vicious cycle of uncertainty.

BOETA exists to break that cycle. Not through temporary aid, but by giving people the chance to build their own future — with work that is respectful, stable, and meaningful.
