Impact Report: Street Smart Upstarts (2025)

Lucha Lunako’s Street Smart Upstarts Impact Report puts a spotlight on igniting entrepreneurial mindsets in youth to unlock income-generating potential. The report highlights the transformative results of our 12-week programme, and showcases how practical hustle skills, mindset shifts, and real-world application have empowered young people – especially those facing unemployment – to see business opportunities everywhere and act on them. Through action research, youth voices, and collaborative partnerships, this work aims to build a thriving, inclusive hustle economy from the grassroots up.
