Mia le Roux Movement helps 160 learners

More than 160 learners living with disabilities have been placed in accredited learnerships across South Africa since the launch of the Mia le Roux Movement x B4i Academy campaign, and recently, the reigning Miss South Africa got to meet some of the beneficiaries.

These learners, many of whom are hearing-impaired or face other forms of exclusion, are enrolled in fully accredited qualifications such as Business Administration, End-User Computing and Wholesale and Retail. The campaign, which kicked-off in October last year, focuses on dignity, access and economic upliftment through skills development by empowering disabled communities through education. The collaboration with the B4i Academy, an initiative of the B4i Project, forms part of Le Roux's advocacy campaign, the Mia Le Roux Movement, a platform dedicated to advocating for the estimated four million deaf people in South Africa, while also raising awareness about all forms of exclusion.
