UPU's COMMITMENT TO BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
UPU is 100% black and female owned. UPU uses, on a part time basis, highly skilled associates from previously disadvantaged backgrounds, thereby advancing the agenda of Black Economic Empowerment.
UPU also offers opportunities to previously marginalized communities by engaging field workers from these communities, inter alia, contributing also to skills transfer and economic upliftment of immediate communities targeted by projects. We also engage interns as researchers, thereby enabling young recently qualified individuals from previously disadvantaged backgrounds to gain professional work experience
