Our beneficiaries

Our programs serve a diverse range of South African youth, including learners and youth from disadvantaged communities and schools.
We prioritize reaching those who are most vulnerable, such as girls at risk of early pregnancy, young people facing bullying or discrimination, and students struggling with academic challenges.
Our goal is to create a more equitable and inclusive society by providing these young people with the support and resources they need to succeed.
