Our aim is to empower youth to address some of our cities most pressing challenges through hackathons, incubation and investment. These challenges include inequality, youth unemployment, and a general lack of access to resource flows such as energy, water, sanitation, housing and education. \n\nKindly donate to our grant so we can start our journey of youth-led education for regeneration! With a match funding pool of over $250k thanks to the amazing Gitcoin community, every single dollar makes a big difference!\n\n**We intend to raise:** 25,000USD that will be well spent to generate the following ambitious outcomes: \n\n1. **Engage the local community:** Host three ReFi Cape Town events over the next three months. These will include expert guest speakers in ReFi, Web3 and urban challenges in African cities. There will be 12 hackathons hosted as part of these events with bounties for winners.
