IEDF MEDIA HOUSE
Our mission is to share the authentic life experiences of the informal economy, both nationally and globally, by providing guidance and support to deserving individuals while highlighting the voices of the untold.
Welcome to IEDF MEDIA HOUSE, a platform that aims to amplify the voices of the informal economy. We are committed to keeping you updated with the latest news, press releases, event galleries, interviews, and Entrepreneurial Talk Show to provide you with a comprehensive source of information about the informal economy.
Our mission is to share the authentic life experiences of the informal economy, both nationally and globally, by providing guidance and support to deserving individuals while highlighting the voices of the untold.
We strongly believe that the informal economy is a powerful force that deserves recognition, and we are dedicated to promoting its significance. Join the Informal Economy Development Forum today to be part of a movement that empowers the informal economy, giving it the voice, it deserves.
Meet Keziah Zachariah, a passionate advocate and the voice of the voiceless within the Informal Economy. From the tender age of 7, Keziah harbored a deep-seated desire to effect positive change in the world. Her journey, marked by trials and tribulations, unfolded in a way that crystallized her purpose when she became an integral part of the IEDF Family.
Now, at the age of 27, Keziah boldly declares, "Where voices cannot be heard, we will ensure they resonate through our platform, thriving on the vision and mission that the IEDF stands for." As a sociable, vibrant, fun-loving, adventurous, and somewhat crazy personality, Keziah has effectively communicated to many within the Informal Economy that it's high time for a transformative change in this sector, amplifying the voices of those who have long remained silent.
In her dual role as the Head of Media and Executive Assistant to the Global President at IEDF, Keziah's purpose is unequivocal: to instigate global change. She asserts, "The Informal Economy, often left to struggle on its own, is a sector where governments and corporations may perceive little hope. This oversight ends here. We are not merely a sector confined to South Africa; we exist worldwide. Despite others claiming to speak for this economy, IEDF makes it resoundingly clear that our voice is louder, and we are driving change in the economy."
As the advocate for the voiceless, IEDF, thrives on bringing untold stories to light, providing a platform for those deserving individuals to share their narratives with the world. Keziah Zachariah stands as a beacon of change, illuminating the path for a more inclusive and empowered Informal Economy.
