HISTORY
Origin
ORIGIN
Development
The media platform opened opportunities for partnerships with NGOs on large-scale training and youth engagement campaigns. Life by Design was later incorporated as a limited company.
In the years that followed, the company established and acquired several complementary business units that collaborate seamlessly to offer a comprehensive range of corporate services. These include communications and branding, systems and technology solutions, training and HR services, as well as incubation and acceleration for startups.
Our impact over the years has been recognised through prestigious awards, including the UNDP Innovation Award (2013), the 2016 Responsible Business Award (International), and the National AWOL “Indigenous Business of the Year” Award (2017).
