Helping Hands

Helping hands needed for the restocking of raw materials used for culinary training, computers, stationery, chef uniforms, kitchen equipment, and the renovation of classes.

Eziko was founded by Victor Mguqulwa in 1996. His mission is to provide unemployed people with life and career-orientated skills in cooking and catering, and “empower” them to find employment that will enable them to provide for themselves and their families and thereby take a practical route out of poverty.

To-date, Eziko has achieved an 80% success rate in placement of students to permanent employment following the Eziko Cooking and Catering programme, and its reputation has grown. Now students apply from all parts of the country including those in SADAC. In addition, the programme is in the process of finalizing accreditation which will add credibility and provide those who complete the programme with a formal certificate of merit that is recognised throughout the hospitality industry. If you are a restaurant, hotel or an establishment seeking kitchen assistants or chefs, Eziko would welcome your support in helping to place these students.
