Puku was fortunate to receive a grant from the Presidential Employment Stimulus Programme (PESP) administered by the National Arts Council. We are very thankful to all the independent contractors who participated.in the PESP project with us. The UNESCO Literacy prize is not our accolade alone. It also belongs to all the people that took part in the PESP project, and to all our partners.
We have created a website post showing all your profiles and we wish you productive and satisfying work opportunities in the coming year. (If we have somehow not included your name in the list, or you would still like to send in you bio as an independent contractor in the 2021 PESP project, please write and advise us: website@puku.co.za )
