1. SayPro Executive Summary
The Southern Africa Youth Project (SayPro) is a non-profit organization focused on empowering youth through education, skills development, and employment support. We seek a strategic partnership with Tiger Brands to support a Raw Food Nutrition and Lunch Programme for 100 disadvantaged and vulnerable youth enrolled in our training programmes at the SayPro Diepsloot Centre.
This 6-month programme will provide either raw food parcels or daily nutritious lunches at a cost of R50 per learner per day, ensuring youth are physically and mentally prepared to complete their training successfully.
2. SayPro Background
SayPro operates in high-poverty areas such as Diepsloot, where unemployment, food insecurity, and educational drop-out rates are critical challenges. SayPro offers accredited training in areas like:
- Digital literacy
- Business administration
- Entrepreneurship
- Office support and life skills
However, many of our students attend classes hungry. Hunger significantly affects their ability to focus, retain information, and attend regularly.
3. SayPro Problem Statement
Youth in Diepsloot face:
- Severe food insecurity, often missing 1–2 meals per day
- Poor concentration and classroom fatigue
- Risk of dropping out of our courses due to health and social stressors
There is an urgent need to provide reliable daily nutrition for students to ensure academic success and life improvement.
4. SayPro Programme Objectives
The SayPro Food & Nutrition Programme aims to:
- Provide nutritious meals (or raw food parcels) for 100 learners over 6 months
- Improve learner attendance, retention, and participation
- Strengthen learners’ mental focus, physical health, and confidence
- Promote healthy eating awareness and long-term sustainability
