EDUCATION A DOOR TO BRIGHT FUTURE

WHO

ARE WE

Puisano was established in 2013 to create a platform for youth development through skills training, mentoring, couching, consultation, support and related

We believe that our country’s competitiveness requires:

A public and private sector which recognises that the exchange of ideas,

and a continuous challenging of accepted norms and values, is critical in a global economy, where ideas and views about the drivers of progress and prosperity shift rapidly.
