Lucien Gazi, Ph.D. and Teresa Urbanowska-Guerreiro are out on the streets of Germany, flyers in hand, starting conversations one person at a time.
What began as a simple flyer drop has turned into unexpected moments of connection: strangers stopping, asking questions, wanting to understand what this walk is really about.
Because this isn’t “just a trip to South Africa.”
It’s an invitation to expand your mindset, build real community, and walk alongside a legacy inspired by Nelson Mandela, through culture, conversation, and lived experience.
Proud to be part of this journey with Rebelieve Adventure and MasterPeace Global.
Social innovators need the mindset of a Nelson Mandela. What we do (StreetBiz Foundation South Africa) is to create the context for growth mindsets aligned with the Mandela mindset. We connect youth from marginalized communities with international visitors on a 7-day walk in nature. This is only one of many projects. From previous experiences, we know this creates a dynamic, exciting, non-stop energy for all individuals involved. We have limited seats available! Enquire now for more information.

We at @streetbiz.insp.social empower marginalised youth in South Africa through entrepreneurship, guided by Nelson Mandela's legacy of Ubuntu.
Did you know? South Africa is the most unequal country on earth, with unemployment at 44% nationally and up to 60% in some areas. Yet its youth have been rated as having the highest entrepreneurial potential in Africa. We exist to unlock that potential.
Our Triple E model gives young people everything they need to turn that potential into real outcomes:
🟢 Education — alternative learning pathways and curriculum development
🟢 Experience — coaching, competitions, and hands-on projects
🟢 Exposure — conferences, networking, and global partnerships
Through our "Be a Nelson" movement, we select, develop, and connect young entrepreneurs through a structured growth journey, from personal development to community impact programmes.
Since 2019, we have been building and proving this model on the ground across South Africa, with the ambition to scale nationally.
Help us achieve:
→ A South Africa where no young person's potential goes to waste
→ National scale for our proven entrepreneurship programme
→ More communities reached through the "Be a Nelson" movement
Vote for us and be part of the change 🙌
We are also open to partnerships with universities and anyone who believes in transforming education for the better.
