Mavaila is a novel concept in Africa where unemployed but qualified individuals pick up volunteering roles with employers under mutually beneficial arrangements, with the hope of converting the relationship to a continuous or permanent one.
History[edit]
Their vision is to tackle the high rate of unemployment in Africa by bridging the gap between unemployed but qualified people and small to medium scale businesses across Africa that are unable to employ personnel with the required skills due to limited funding.
With 60% of Africa's population under 25 years of age, the continent has the youngest population in the world. This presents great potentials for Africa to position itself for the future opportunities of the world. However, grave socio-economic challenges and underdevelopment of key enabling structures have continuously prevented the continent from fully reaping the benefits inherent in the optimal engagement of its rich pool of human capital.
Though many Africans are qualified, a very high incidence of unemployment still exists where qualified people have no jobs or sustainable careers. In the same vein, many small to medium scale local businesses operate without an adequate level of funding. These organizations are willing but unable to employ qualified candidates to grow their enterprises. Mavaila provides a platform for both parties to start off a professional relationship from the point of volunteering. Upon a satisfactory exchange of value, the relationship will assuredly transit into longer-term; a win-win scenario for both volunteer and employer.
