CPT pledge 2024.pdfIssue: In South Africa, young people in townships are grappling with various challenges due to limited opportunities. This includes a lack of proper education, few job options, and insufficient support systems. These obstacles create a cycle where it's tough for them to move up in society, stunting their personal growth and hindering progress for everyone.
Goal: To empower underserved youth in the Ndlambe Municipality, providing them with comprehensive opportunities to actively engage in society and pursue their full potential.
Beneficiaries: 600 youth in various programs and 4000 visitors at campaign events per year
