WE GIVE MORE THAN JUST FOOD & TOYS, YOUTH OF CHOICE GIVE'S HOPE TO THE NEEDY

Today our founder, @JabulaniMyeza handed over food groceries and educational toys to the care givers who looks after the orphans & vulnerable children of Masibambane Educare Centre. Many children from the centre live in situation of extreme poverty. For them this means malnutrition, hunger, disease, lack of education and other social problems linked to the scarcity of economic resources. We hope these toys will bring a moment of fun and food bring a bit of hope to these kids. The children from the centre are from poor families, child headed homes because parents have died due to HIV/AIDS and orphaned. As Youth of Choice we have taken the huge responsibility of adopting the centre as an activation partner to help raise the necessary resources and material to help them realize their bigger vision of building a better facility for the centre. Our organization has achieved measurable success during the last year in providing basic educational material, training of care givers who look after the kids and donating toys to nearly 90 kids at the centre. The care givers are all unpayed 6 volunteers. We are doing our beat to make a difference. Can you help or do you know someone who can help? Together, we can make a difference.

Sport for Social Change

More 60 kids showed up at YOC outreach clinic from impoverished community of Mkhambathini. These kids learn new basketball sets of skills and more importantly learn about life skills to make better choices in their lives. Majority of the kids played with bear foot because they can't afford shoes. It was a day full of fun, education and sharing of knowledge to help them make smart choices. YOC Champions for Change were overwhelmed by much these kids were willing to learn and thanks to our volunteers who made it all happen.

We are coming to your area next...

Reach & Teach HIV testing campaign launches today at Varsity College

Reach & Teach HIV testing campaign launches today at Varsity College in Pietermaritzburg. The campaign uses the emotional power of dance and music to engage, educate and inspire the youth to get tested for HIV/AIDS.

 

This testing campaign, aims to encourage young people particularly students in schools and tertiary to get tested for HIV and know their status.

 

This campaign will soon be rolled out to other schools, universities and community halls. Varsity College in partnership with Youth of Choice and other organizations took an initiative to educate their students on sexual health and the importance of knowing ones HIV status. Those who got tested today received free tee shirts and caps from Youth of Choice as incentives. Youth of Choice in association with the local hip hop dance crew (Pradators) have found a new innovative way to activate and energise the students to get tested.

 

"Ultimately the campaign aims to change behavioral patterns and mobilse young people to take action against HIV/AIDS through alternative artistic methods. Youth of Choice fully endorses the South African government's new HIV Counselling and Testing (HCT) Campaign that aims to test a total of 15 million people throughout South Africa by June 2011", said Jabulani Myeza, the founder and chairman of Youth of Choice.

 

YOC TEAM: Together, we can make a difference.
