Four case studies documenting the outcomes of our programmes and partnerships.
Partnership with the National Youth Service (NYS) to empower youth in agriculture.
Commenced 1 August 2025, focused on food resilience, backyard gardening, career pathways, and work-readiness.
25 young people completed the programme, gaining horticultural skills; several expressed interest in pursuing agricultural careers.
Partnership with Outreach Foundation to uplift women in the beauty space.
Began 1 June 2025 with 75 unemployed women, focused on make-up techniques and nail care.
Participants gained technical and entrepreneurial skills and received Certificates of Competence.
Advocates for the rights, dignity, and inclusion of persons with disabilities.
Started in 2022 with 4 members, now supports 41 beneficiaries; has assisted 100+ people with CV development, job readiness, and employment/learnership guidance.
The Help Desk also runs a peer support group.
“Before joining the Help Desk, I didn't know how to apply for jobs. Now I feel confident sending out my CV and even landed my first internship!”
“The support group gave me my confidence back, and today I am working in a position I love.”
Prevention through education — reducing substance abuse via prevention, recovery support, and second chances.
Led by Manqoba and Thabane, who overcame substance abuse themselves and now run awareness sessions in schools covering the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse, impact on families, healthy choices, and peer pressure.
The programme also offers pre-rehabilitation support — counselling, motivational support and rehab placement assistance — and Manqoba has run correctional-services awareness work for 5 years.
