  • SayPro Deep and Lasting Thank You to the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund for Transforming Lives Through Training and Empowerment with SayPro (2011–2016)

    A Deep and Lasting Thank You to the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund for Transforming Lives Through Training and Empowerment with SayPro (2011–2016)

    The Southern African Youth Project (SayPro) extends its profound gratitude and appreciation to the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund for your unwavering support, partnership, and belief in the potential of young people. Your generous contribution to our mission between 2011 and 2016 laid a powerful foundation for the transformative work that continues to this day.

    Through your visionary funding and encouragement, SayPro was able to reach and uplift 4,000 individuals — equipping them with Life Skills, nurturing Entrepreneurship, and fostering growth through impactful Team Building Programmes. Your support not only provided training — it changed lives, shaped futures, and reignited hope in some of the most vulnerable and overlooked communities in our country.

    Building the Foundations of Life

    The Life Skills Training made possible by the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund was one of the cornerstones of our development model. For thousands of youth, it provided essential tools to navigate life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and confidence. The training focused on core values such as self-awareness, communication, decision-making, emotional regulation, and goal setting. These are not just soft skills — they are the essence of personal development and the building blocks of a future filled with possibility.

    Many of the young people who came through our doors during this period had experienced hardship, loss, and instability. Your support gave them a safe space to rediscover themselves, learn new perspectives, and develop into confident, self-assured individuals with the ability to dream again.

    Fostering Connection and Leadership Through Team Building

    Another standout element of your contribution was the implementation of Team Building Programmes. These interactive sessions were more than just fun activities — they were transformative experiences that helped participants understand the value of teamwork, leadership, empathy, and collaboration.

    In a society where isolation, social fragmentation, and lack of support often affect youth development, these programmes helped rebuild a sense of belonging and purpose. Young people from different backgrounds were brought together to learn how to lead, to listen, to work as a team, and to support one another. They learned that leadership begins with service, and that greatness is often found in unity.

    Your support turned strangers into allies, peers into partners, and communities into collective forces for good.

    Igniting the Spirit of Entrepreneurship

    Perhaps one of the most impactful contributions you made to SayPro and the individuals we serve was in the area of Entrepreneurship Training. By equipping our youth with entrepreneurial thinking, business skills, financial literacy, and problem-solving frameworks, you helped them understand that they can be creators of opportunity — not just seekers of employment.

    Young people were trained to think critically, assess market needs, build business plans, pitch ideas, and even launch their own micro-enterprises. In doing so, they not only discovered the value of innovation and self-reliance, but also began to see themselves as economic contributors and change-makers in their own right.

    This kind of empowerment is lasting. It does not end with a certificate. It builds a legacy of economic participation, community improvement, and generational upliftment.

    A Legacy Rooted in the Values of Madiba

    Your organisation carries the name and legacy of Nelson Mandela, and your impact reflects his vision for a society that prioritises the well-being of its children and youth. At SayPro, we have always strived to uphold those values — equality, dignity, empowerment, justice — and through your support, we were able to bring them to life in our daily work.

    Your commitment from 2011 to 2016 laid the groundwork for so much of what we have built since. It allowed SayPro to grow from a dream into a national platform for youth empowerment. It allowed thousands of young people to stand taller, speak louder, and walk further than they ever believed possible. You inspired belief, fostered hope, and helped raise a generation that will remember your impact for decades to come.

    On behalf of the SayPro board, our team, our alumni, and every life touched by your generosity, we say:

    Thank you, Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund, for believing in the power of youth.
    Thank you for walking with us on this journey.
    Thank you for being part of the story of transformation, one life at a time.

    We look forward to honouring this legacy by continuing to serve, innovate, and uplift — with the same heart and vision that Nelson Mandela so courageously modeled for the world.

    With enduring gratitude and respect,
    SayPro Team

  • SayPro Heartfelt Thank You to Modular Mining for Equipping SayPro With Tools, Skills, and Opportunities to Transform Lives (2018–2020).

    A Heartfelt Thank You to Modular Mining for Equipping SayPro With Tools, Skills, and Opportunities to Transform Lives (2018–2020)

    The Southern African Youth Project (SayPro) extends its deepest and most sincere gratitude to Modular Mining for the invaluable support and investment you provided between 2018 and 2020. Your commitment to youth development, education, and technology has left an enduring mark not only on our organization but also on the thousands of individuals whose lives have been transformed as a direct result of your generosity and vision.

    Your partnership went far beyond financial assistance — it was an act of empowerment. It was a statement that every young person, regardless of background, deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and participate meaningfully in the digital and economic future of South Africa.

    Through your support, SayPro was able to access and implement the following critical interventions:

    1. Purchase of Computer Equipment

    Access to technology is no longer a luxury — it is a lifeline to education, employment, and innovation. Your provision of computer equipment enabled SayPro to build and upgrade its digital infrastructure, establish fully functioning training hubs, and create inclusive learning environments for youth across the communities we serve. These devices became the gateway to opportunity for many who had never interacted with a computer before.

    Today, thanks to Modular Mining, hundreds of young people can now use these systems for research, coursework, digital training, job applications, online learning, and entrepreneurial exploration. Your investment gave us the physical tools to carry our mission forward and bridge the digital divide that affects so many disadvantaged communities.

    2. Life Skills Training

    Recognising that true empowerment begins from within, your support also enabled us to deliver comprehensive Life Skills training. These sessions focused on building self-confidence, emotional intelligence, communication, time management, goal setting, and problem-solving skills. For many of our participants, this training was the foundation upon which all other learning was built.

    Life Skills training fostered a sense of purpose and resilience in our youth, helping them navigate both personal and professional challenges with greater clarity and confidence. Modular Mining helped create stronger, more prepared individuals who are now better equipped to contribute positively to their communities.

    3. Computer Literacy and Digital Training

    In today’s rapidly advancing digital world, computer literacy is a critical skill. Your partnership made it possible for hundreds of young individuals to receive training in essential computer functions such as word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, internet use, and online communication. These skills are now helping our youth find jobs, further their education, and participate fully in the modern workforce.

    4. Systems Development and Programming Training

    One of the most groundbreaking components of your support was the inclusion of Systems Development and Programming Training. This specialised instruction gave learners an introduction to the world of software development, coding languages, databases, and digital system design — areas that are increasingly critical in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

    Through this training, SayPro helped spark the interest of young minds in the tech industry and opened doors to potential careers in programming, app development, and systems analysis. This contribution directly responded to South Africa’s growing need for skilled professionals in the ICT sector and helped create new pathways for economic mobility.

    Modular Mining, your generosity enabled SayPro to go beyond what we imagined was possible. You saw the potential in people and invested in their futures. You understood that with the right tools, support, and training, even the most underserved youth can rise, lead, and innovate. You’ve proven that corporate social investment is not just a policy — it’s a powerful force for change.

    Your partnership during 2018–2020 uplifted lives, built skills, empowered communities, and helped position SayPro as a leader in youth development and digital literacy in South Africa. The legacy of your contribution continues to ripple through the lives of those we serve.

    On behalf of our leadership, our dedicated team, and each and every beneficiary who had the privilege to learn, grow, and dream because of you, we say:

    Thank you, Modular Mining, for believing in potential.
    Thank you for investing in change.
    Thank you for helping us build a better, more digital, and more inclusive future.

    We look forward to walking hand in hand with you on future projects and collaborations that continue to make a meaningful impact.

    With deepest appreciation and respect,
    SayPro Team

  • SayPro Profound Thank You to Esquared for Empowering Communities Through Training, Development, and Digital Innovation with SayPro (2018–2020).

    A Profound Thank You to Esquared for Empowering Communities Through Training, Development, and Digital Innovation with SayPro (2018–2020)

    The Southern African Youth Project (SayPro) would like to extend our most sincere and heartfelt gratitude to Esquared for the exceptional support and partnership extended to us during the 2018–2020 period. Through your unwavering commitment to social impact, development, and innovation, SayPro was able to implement and scale one of our most impactful multi-faceted programs to date.

    Your generous support enabled the development of a dynamic and efficient Database System that became the backbone of our monitoring, evaluation, and service delivery efforts. This system not only allowed us to manage our programs more effectively, but it also provided the tools to track individual progress, identify community needs, and refine our interventions with real-time data. In an age where information drives impact, Esquared helped us build a technological foundation that strengthened the integrity and scalability of our organization.

    Beyond technology, your partnership helped us touch over 3,000 lives across the country. With your investment, SayPro delivered extensive training programs that empowered individuals with the Computer Skills, Life Skills, Information Technology Competencies, Entrepreneurial Knowledge, and School Teacher Development essential to thrive in today’s economy and society.

    1. Computer Training and ICT Development

    Thousands of individuals, many of whom had never touched a computer before, were given access to structured, quality training in digital literacy. They learned how to use basic programs, navigate the internet, communicate professionally online, and apply ICT skills to improve their employment opportunities and educational outcomes. Thanks to Esquared, these individuals are now equipped to actively participate in the digital world.

    2. Life Skills and Personal Development

    The Life Skills training offered under this initiative was a transformative experience for many participants. They were empowered with emotional intelligence, communication strategies, goal-setting abilities, time management, and problem-solving techniques. These essential skills are the foundation for personal success and long-term career development. Esquared helped instill confidence, resilience, and purpose in every participant.

    3. Entrepreneurship and Economic Empowerment

    Entrepreneurship training was a key pillar of the program, encouraging innovation, self-reliance, and economic participation. Participants learned how to identify opportunities, draft business plans, manage finances, and market their products or services effectively. With this support, many aspiring entrepreneurs took their first steps toward launching micro-enterprises, becoming job creators in their own right.

    4. School Teacher Development Program

    One of the most impactful components of your support was the School Teacher Development Program. Recognizing that teachers are central to shaping the future, Esquared helped us deliver training that enriched the professional skills, digital capabilities, and pedagogical methods of educators. The ripple effect of this initiative is immeasurable — as each empowered teacher continues to impact countless learners year after year.

    Your contribution went far beyond the numbers. You gave hope to communities, restored dignity to unemployed youth, inspired educators, and helped us build a generation that is smarter, stronger, and more capable. You believed in our vision, amplified our mission, and walked with us as a true partner.

    Esquared, your support has laid a legacy of transformation. You have shown what is possible when innovation, education, and community empowerment intersect. On behalf of our leadership, staff, beneficiaries, and every community member whose life was touched by this program, we say:

    Thank you for your vision.
    Thank you for your investment.
    Thank you for being a beacon of impact in our journey.

    We look forward to future collaborations, inspired by the belief that together, we can create meaningful, measurable, and lasting change in South Africa.

  • SayPro Sincere Thank You to MICT SETA for Empowering SayPro Through ICT Training for Employees (2021–2022).

    A Sincere Thank You to MICT SETA for Empowering SayPro Through ICT Training for Employees (2021–2022)

    The Southern African Youth Project (SayPro) would like to extend its deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to the Media, Information and Communication Technologies Sector Education and Training Authority (MICT SETA) for your generous and impactful support during the 2021–2022 period. Your investment in the training of 10 SayPro employees in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Skills has created lasting change — not only within our organization, but in the broader communities we serve.

    In an era where technology is rapidly shaping every facet of our lives — from education and employment to communication and innovation — ICT skills have become essential. Your decision to partner with SayPro to upskill our team in this critical area speaks volumes about MICT SETA’s commitment to inclusive growth, skills development, and organisational sustainability. It also highlights your clear understanding that empowering the workforce behind youth-focused initiatives strengthens the very foundation of societal transformation.

    For SayPro, this training came at a crucial time. As the world adapted to new ways of working due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the increasing digitisation of services, the need for digital competency became non-negotiable. Thanks to MICT SETA, 10 of our dedicated staff members were given the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and knowledge in key ICT areas — including basic computer literacy, digital communication, data management, IT troubleshooting, and virtual collaboration tools.

    The outcomes of this training were immediate and tangible. Internally, our operations became more efficient, our team more confident, and our service delivery more effective. The newly acquired ICT skills allowed our staff to better navigate digital systems, support programme implementation with greater technical proficiency, and extend our digital outreach to young people in both urban and rural areas. The knowledge gained not only enhanced individual growth but amplified the overall impact of SayPro’s mission.

    Your support helped our employees overcome the digital divide — a barrier that limits many from reaching their full potential. More than that, it reaffirmed our belief that meaningful change begins with empowering people at every level of an organisation. You didn’t just provide training; you provided opportunity, advancement, and a future-ready workforce equipped to meet the evolving demands of the 21st-century development sector.

    The MICT SETA’s vision for a digitally empowered South Africa aligns beautifully with SayPro’s own goals of equipping youth and professionals with tools that will carry them into a future of innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic participation. You have proven to be not just a funder, but a true partner in progress, with a keen understanding of the intersection between education, technology, and sustainable impact.

    On behalf of our leadership, staff, and beneficiaries, we thank you — not just for the training provided, but for believing in the power of capacity-building and the importance of investing in people. Your contribution has made a real and lasting difference in our journey.

    We look forward to continuing this partnership and exploring new ways to collaborate in building a digitally skilled, inclusive, and resilient South Africa — one empowered individual at a time.

    With our deepest appreciation,
    SayPro Team

  • SayPro Thank You to the Gauteng Government Office of the Premier for Honoring SayPro with an Award (2018–2019)

    A Heartfelt Thank You to the Gauteng Government Office of the Premier for Honouring SayPro with an Award (2018–2019)

    The Southern African Youth Project (SayPro) extends its deepest appreciation to the Gauteng Government Office of the Premier for the incredible honor bestowed upon us during the 2018–2019 period. Being selected as a recipient of a prestigious award by your office was not only a moment of celebration for our organization — it was a defining milestone that affirmed the impact of our work and the potential of our mission.

    In a sector where non-profits and youth development organisations often work tirelessly behind the scenes, this recognition served as a powerful reminder that the work we do matters, that it is seen, and that it is valued. The award we received from the Office of the Premier was more than a symbol of achievement; it was a validation of the long hours, the challenges overcome, the community partnerships built, and the countless lives touched by our programmes.

    The Gauteng Government Office of the Premier holds a critical leadership role in shaping policy, development, and transformation in the province. To be acknowledged by such a high and respected office elevated our sense of responsibility and strengthened our resolve to continue our mission of empowering youth through education, skills development, entrepreneurship, and holistic support.

    This award inspired not only our leadership and staff, but also the thousands of young people we serve across Gauteng and beyond. It reminded them that success is possible, that excellence is recognised, and that the journey they are on — no matter how difficult — can lead to moments of pride and public honour.

    In the wake of this recognition, SayPro experienced a renewed energy. Internally, it inspired our team to reach even higher and work even harder. Externally, it enhanced our visibility and credibility within the development sector, opening doors to new partnerships, collaborations, and funding opportunities. Most importantly, it created momentum — the kind that carries an organisation forward with purpose and confidence.

    We are especially grateful that the award came during a time when many youth-focused organisations faced significant resource and operational challenges. Your acknowledgment provided us with motivation and hope — a reminder that the impact we are making in communities is real and worthy of recognition.

    The Office of the Premier plays a crucial role in fostering innovation, social justice, and empowerment across Gauteng. Your recognition of SayPro aligns perfectly with your commitment to building a province that invests in youth potential, celebrates grassroots success, and uplifts those working to transform our society from the ground up.

    On behalf of the entire SayPro family — from our board of directors and leadership team to our staff, volunteers, and youth beneficiaries — we express our sincere and heartfelt gratitude to the Gauteng Government Office of the Premier. Thank you for seeing us. Thank you for celebrating us. Thank you for encouraging us to keep going.

    We are proud to carry this award as a symbol of what is possible when community, government, and civil society work together for a common goal. May this recognition be the beginning of many more collaborations and shared victories.

    With deep appreciation and pride,
    SayPro Team

  • SayPro Sincere Thank You to HWSETA for Investing in the Growth and Development of SayPro Employees Through Life Skills, Workshops, and Adult Education (2018–2021).

    A Sincere Thank You to HWSETA for Investing in the Growth and Development of SayPro Employees Through Life Skills, Workshops, and Adult Education (2018–2021)

    The Southern African Youth Project (SayPro) extends its profound and heartfelt gratitude to the Health and Welfare Sector Education and Training Authority (HWSETA) for your unwavering support and investment in the professional and personal development of our employees. Your partnership, which spanned from 2018 to 2021, provided our team with access to critical Life Skills Training, Educational Workshops, and Adult Education opportunities that have significantly transformed our internal capacity, organizational culture, and service delivery.

    Your commitment to nurturing human capital within the non-profit and development sector cannot be overstated. In a time when organisations like ours were working tirelessly to respond to the complex social challenges facing youth, your support helped ensure that our employees themselves were not left behind. Through the HWSETA-funded training, our staff were able to grow not only as professionals, but also as individuals equipped to face life with confidence, resilience, and a deeper sense of purpose.

    The Life Skills Training offered essential personal development tools — from emotional intelligence and communication, to critical thinking and conflict resolution. These skills have been vital in enhancing employee wellbeing and improving the way we engage with the communities we serve. Our team has become more cohesive, empathetic, and empowered to lead by example in their daily interactions with youth and stakeholders.

    The Workshops delivered over this three-year period brought refreshing insights and practical knowledge into our workspace. Topics such as leadership, community engagement, wellness, time management, and team dynamics were explored in ways that encouraged deep reflection and real action. These workshops didn’t just build skills — they built a learning culture within SayPro, where continuous improvement is now at the heart of our daily operations.

    One of the most remarkable aspects of this partnership was the inclusion of Adult Education. Many of our employees who had previously not completed their formal education were given the opportunity to reignite their learning journey. For these individuals, it was more than just education; it was a second chance, a personal victory, and a dream revived. The dignity and motivation this brought into their lives continue to resonate throughout our organisation.

    By prioritising training in the health and welfare sector, HWSETA has demonstrated a powerful understanding: that the strength of an organisation lies in the wellbeing, knowledge, and capability of its people. Your support has helped SayPro grow stronger from the inside out — improving not only how we operate, but how we care, how we serve, and how we inspire change in our communities.

    This partnership has left a lasting legacy. Our team is now more confident, qualified, and capable of delivering impactful youth programmes with empathy and professionalism. They are advocates of lifelong learning, proud of their progress, and motivated to continue growing — both for themselves and the young people they serve.

    On behalf of SayPro, our leadership, and every single employee who directly benefited from this transformative training, we offer our most sincere and heartfelt thanks. HWSETA, your belief in development, equity, and human potential continues to create real and lasting change. We are honored to have journeyed with you during this period and look forward to future collaborations that continue to build empowered, educated, and equipped citizens.

    With deep appreciation and respect,
    SayPro Team

  • SayPro Deep Expression of Gratitude to the National Arts Council of South Africa for Supporting SayPro’s Training in Arts, Culture, and Heritage (2016–2017)

    A Deep Expression of Gratitude to the National Arts Council of South Africa for Supporting SayPro’s Training in Arts, Culture, and Heritage (2016–2017)

    The Southern African Youth Project (SayPro) wishes to extend its most sincere and heartfelt appreciation to the National Arts Council of South Africa (NAC) for the invaluable support and partnership extended during the 2016–2017 period. Through your funding and vision, SayPro was able to offer comprehensive training in Arts, Culture, and Heritage to four dedicated individuals—a small number, yet a profound impact.

    In a world where opportunities for emerging artists and cultural practitioners can be limited—especially in underserved communities—your support stood as a beacon of hope. The training not only nurtured talent but instilled in these individuals a renewed sense of purpose and identity, rooted in South Africa’s rich and diverse cultural landscape.

    This initiative was about far more than just education. It was about preserving stories, awakening passion, and empowering voices that deserve to be heard. Through your support, these four participants gained the knowledge and tools to become not only skilled artists but also ambassadors of our cultural heritage. They learned about the significance of their own history, traditions, and creative expression, and how to use their skills to uplift and educate others in their communities.

    Each of the beneficiaries left the programme transformed — equipped with a deeper understanding of who they are, where they come from, and how they can contribute to the evolving narrative of South Africa’s artistic and cultural identity. Whether through visual arts, performance, storytelling, or community engagement, they are now better positioned to take the lead in preserving and promoting South Africa’s cultural legacy.

    The National Arts Council’s decision to invest in a grassroots training programme like this speaks volumes about your commitment to inclusive development. You recognised that even a small investment can have a ripple effect, and that when you empower even one artist, you ignite the potential to transform entire communities. The four individuals who received this training have gone on to become sources of inspiration, knowledge bearers, and cultural connectors in their own right.

    We are especially grateful for the opportunity this training provided to merge theory with practice, enabling participants to engage with real-world applications of their skills. The exposure to arts and heritage management, cultural policy, creative entrepreneurship, and collaborative projects gave them a solid foundation to begin their careers or build upon their existing practice.

    On behalf of the entire SayPro team and the beneficiaries of this programme, we offer our deepest gratitude to the National Arts Council of South Africa. Thank you for believing in the power of the arts. Thank you for seeing the value in uplifting just a few, knowing the impact would extend to many more. Thank you for being a champion of culture, inclusion, and transformation.

    We hope to continue walking this journey with you — building a future where the voices of our artists are not only heard, but celebrated, protected, and empowered.

    With sincere appreciation and admiration,
    SayPro Team
