Our Vision :
To create livelihood opportunities
Contribute to alleviating poverty
Serve as a buffer between by employment and unemployment.
For many people who cannot find a job, the Urban Market offers an alternative and a way to generate an income. It provides an unofficial social security system, serves as options for self-employment and it is an avenue for people with insufficient skills for the formal sector.
The platform provides opportunities for marginalised and historically disadvantaged groups, such as women and disabled persons.
Informal trade gives unemployed persons (with lower levels of education, insufficient skills and a lack of business literacy) the chance to support their household income and in some cases they become the breadwinners, supporting a large number of dependants
FUTURE GROWTH :
We encourage vendors to use the market as a business incubator to test the waters for a product and take their creations to a larger audience.
The market aims to become a community social hub and a business incubator encouraging residents , especially our youth , to grow their entrepreneurial passions into a saleable service , skill or product.
Treasure hunting at craft and urban markets might be the best place for you to find the best buys , while supporting local crafters , traders and the very best food vendors Mitchells Plain has to offer.
The market aims to offer a decent selection of products, crafts, delicious foods at reasonable prices which will make it worth the visit.
Light music enhances and adds vibrancy to the family orientated market. We further invite local talents , buskers , entertainers etc to showcase their talents to visitors at the market.
