STRATEGY DRAFT/ OVERVIEW RunFree/ Runfree services A brand or platform Inspired by desire for freedom, freedom from limitations of societal norms and beliefs in promoting self expression through talents and crafts, to change and or bring up development for individuals, groups, nations and the country as a whole. Focusing on building dreams, passion and culture nationwide, with an idea that inspires young minds to reach their fullest potential. The platform is to work with skilled informally trained Basotho youth, who are making a living through their crafts and talents under the fact that unemployment is the major factor affecting the youth worldwide, many of our youth are unemployed and uninformed of jobs or agencies that can recruit them and place them under a temporary job or income generating position within their skill sets. Any company, cooperate, organization initiative, network or platform created by RUNFREE is aimed at educating and providing entrepreneurial opportunities for individuals and/ or groups for the youth making efforts to re-instill the idea of change in this country.
