Support the AULDA Creative Print & Media Hub

Empowering South African Youth through Creativity, Technology, and Enterprise

The AULDA Creative Print & Media Hub is a bold initiative by Africans United for Long-Lasting Development of Africa (AULDA)

We are building a professional printing, branding, and design centre in Johannesburg that will train, employ, and empower young people and women with digital and creative skills.

This is more than a print shop.
It’s a place where unemployed youth become creators, designers, and entrepreneurs — turning their ideas into real income and independence.

Why It Matters

Youth unemployment in South Africa is among the highest in the world — over 60% in some communities.
Most young people have creativity and ambition, but no access to tools, mentorship, or technology.

Our Vision

“No Young Person Left Behind.”

By 2026, the AULDA Creative Print & Media Hub will:

Train 100 youth and women in digital printing and entrepreneurship
Create 20 permanent jobs
Generate R 1.8 million in sustainable income
Build a self-reliant, youth-led creative economy

This project aligns with South Africa’s National Development Plan 2030 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals — promoting education, gender equality, and decent work.

What We Do

1. Training & Mentorship
We run a 3-month Skills 4 Life program covering digital design, printing, finishing, and business development.

2. Professional Printing Services
The hub produces T-shirts, banners, books, ID cards, architectural plans, and more — offering affordable, high-quality services to schools, NGOs, and small businesses.

3. Entrepreneurship Pathways
Graduates can join the AULDA Cooperative Print Network, gaining access to equipment and support to start their own micro-businesses.

A Story of Change

“When I came to AULDA, I had no job and no hope. I learned design, printing, and how to sell my work.
Today I earn my income printing shirts and banners for schools. I no longer wait for opportunities — I create them.”
— Thabo, AULDA trainee, Hillbrow

Thabo’s journey is the story of hundreds of South African youth who just need a chance.
Your support gives them that chance..
