Skills Development and Peer Empowerment

The project addresses critical community needs by promoting Anti-Retroviral Therapy adherence for HIV-positive children, provided reproductive health and life skills education to adolescents, and operated a Technology and Digital Hub. This hub provides free internet and laptop access for job research and school projects, while fostering self-reliance and an entrepreneurial mindset among local youth. 3040 beneficiaries including approximately 2,000 adolescent girls and boys, 400 parents/guardians, and over 640 centre beneficiaries were reached through the project. The project utilises a multi-sectoral approach, collaborating with partners such as HIVSA, the University of Johannesburg, and local clinics to ensureholistic support for beneficiaries. Beyond its 12-month operational cycle, the project aims to create a lasting impact by cultivating future leaders and maintaining the digital hub as a continuous community resource.
