SayPro Chief Development Royalty Income Generation Table Plan 2026
BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT
Diepsloot is a densely populated township where many young people, students, job seekers, and small business owners face limited access to affordable digital and printing services. Most community members travel far other extensions to access internet cafés, printing shops, and computer services, which increases their expenses and time burden.
SayProCDR has long served the community through youth development, skills training, and social support programmes. However, the organisation currently relies heavily on external funding and donations, which are not always consistent. To strengthen financial sustainability, SayProCDR proposes the establishment of a small community-based internet café that will operate as an income-generating project while still serving the needs of Diepsloot residents and surrounding areas at affordable rates. This initiative aligns with SayProCDR’s mission to empower youth, support local entrepreneurship, and promote economic participation in the community.
PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT
The primary purposes of the internet café are to:
- Generate steady monthly income for SayProCDR
- Reduce financial dependence on donors
- Fund the purchase and maintenance of office equipment
- Contribute towards staff salaries and future salary increases
- Create job opportunities for local volunteers and youth
- Improve digital access for community members
- Support job seekers with CV typing, printing, and online applications
- Assist small businesses with branding and design services
This project will function as both a business initiative and a social service project.

BUSINESS MODEL AND INCOME GENERATION STRATEGY

Key income streams include:
