  2. Experience and discovery; The youth has been involved in a series of dangerous and shocking activities due to a number of factors .In 2009 the was a debut about the train surfing activities that were occurring mostly in the Soweto region . This activity was done by school students during the early hours and later I n the evening .During this dangerous activity , over the years a number of death s have been reported .Poor guidance has played a vital role in some predicaments that the youth currently faces because most students especially in the town ship don’t have proper guidance which results to bad decision making which has numerous consequences .

  3. There number of students dropping out in public schools is increasing not to mention the matric fail rate in township schools annually, these have in turn seen many schools closing down in the township .The looming issue of alcohol and drugs being used by the youth keeps increasing. Specifically a drug called “NYAOPE” contributes heavily to crime, HIV and teenage pregnancy that seem to be rising.

  4. During the first quarter of this year the debut of the youth groups in the townships called the “IZIKHOTHANE” shocked the nation .These groups competes with each other by destroying expensive clothes, phones and even tearing money just to show that they have more to spend whereas most of these youngstars come from humbled homes .They also showcase with expensive whiskeys and other drinks

  6. Our main aim is to partner with schools and use them as our potent transformational tool to communicate with the youth .We plan to partner with other institutions as to host life skills workshops in schools and have mentoring programs as to inspire and encourage the youth with their dreams and goals .We will also host motivational talk shows as to give successful people the integrity and honor to role model their success to the youth.

  7. As to educate the youth about the economy, we will partner with financial institutions as to ensure that the youth is facilitated on financial literacy and savings. Providing opportunities and enabling progress is our mission hence we aim at encouraging the unemployed youth to seek for business opportunities that will provide job opportunities and in turn boost the economy of the country whiles reducing crime and poverty. The team addresses social, environmental and economic challenges that face the communities and country at large. It aims at redirecting the mentality of the youth and showing them that success is within them.

  8. Using our Young Entrepreneur Program we will select 10 schools and in each select 10 student’s .We will give them an opportunity to start a business that they deem fit and grant them a R500.00 loan that must be repayable at 0 % interest after 6 weeks. A teacher will be appointed to supervise the group and assist if any assistance is needed .After 6 weeks we will recognize the team that made most profit in a form of an award and select 10 different schools that will also undergo the same program for 6 weeks. As a bonus feature we will encourage each school to start a recycling project as to educate the learners about the importance of environmental sustainability at grass root level or alternatively start a food garden that will serve as a source of food for underprivileged learners.

  9. To provide the youth with intelligence, opportunities for growth, broaden their perspectives on business ideas and groom a healthy life style within them as to ensure that their standard of living and quality of life is improved.
