  • SayPro Appreciation article from SayPro (Southern Africa Youth Project) to the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA) for their support in 2023.

    Appreciation to the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA)
    From SayPro (Southern Africa Youth Project)
    For Providing Microsoft Excel (Intermediate) Training – 2023

    On behalf of SayPro (Southern Africa Youth Project), we would like to extend our deepest and most sincere appreciation to the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA) for generously providing Microsoft Excel (Intermediate) Training to our team and beneficiaries during the year 2023.

    This thoughtful and timely training intervention played a significant role in enhancing the digital and administrative competencies of our staff, youth participants, and community stakeholders. Your commitment to empowering organizations and individuals with practical, workplace-ready skills is not only commendable—it is truly transformative.

    Bridging the Digital Skills Gap

    In today’s increasingly digital and data-driven world, having intermediate proficiency in Microsoft Excel is no longer just an added skill—it is an essential requirement. Thanks to PSIRA’s support, SayPro was able to build this capacity across various levels of our work, ensuring:

    • Greater efficiency in data collection and reporting
    • Improved project monitoring and evaluation
    • Enhanced budgeting, financial tracking, and forecasting
    • Advanced analysis and presentation of programme results
    • Professional record-keeping and administrative accuracy

    This training has strengthened SayPro’s operational systems, making our team more confident, independent, and capable in their day-to-day responsibilities. Participants gained knowledge in functions such as VLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, Conditional Formatting, Charts, and Data Validation—skills that are already being applied in real-time across multiple projects.

    Empowering Youth, One Skill at a Time

    What made this initiative even more powerful was its alignment with SayPro’s mission—to empower youth through education, skills development, and opportunity creation. The training extended beyond our internal team, reaching unemployed youth and jobseekers who are now better positioned to compete in the modern job market. With these newly acquired skills, many participants are now equipped to take on roles in administration, finance, operations, and IT support—roles that were previously out of reach due to the lack of digital proficiency.

    A Partner in Progress

    Your investment in this capacity-building initiative has planted seeds of growth, confidence, and professionalism that will continue to bear fruit for years to come. You’ve reminded us that meaningful change happens when organizations collaborate, share resources, and focus on building people—not just systems.

    To the leadership and team at PSIRA:
    Thank you for believing in the value of skills development. Thank you for investing in our vision. And most importantly, thank you for equipping our team and communities with tools that foster self-reliance, employability, and lifelong learning.

    SayPro is proud to have partnered with PSIRA in this impactful initiative, and we look forward to future collaborations that continue to uplift and empower.

    With immense gratitude and appreciation,
    The SayPro (Southern Africa Youth Project) Team

  • SayPro Heartfelt Appreciation to Mr. Puluko Nkiwane: A Mentor, A Guide, A Force of Growth and Inspiration.

    From all of us SayPro Interns we want to take this moment to extend our deepest and most sincere gratitude for everything you have done and continue to do for us. This is more than just a message of thanks; it’s a celebration of your presence, your wisdom, and the profound impact you’ve had on each of our lives.

    From the very beginning of our internship journey, you have stood as a constant pillar of strength, support, and encouragement. You didn’t just take on the role of a supervisor—you embraced the calling of a mentor, guide, teacher, and motivator. Through your unwavering dedication, you have created a space where we could learn, grow, and discover the best in ourselves.

    Your guidance has gone far beyond marketing strategies, reports, and campaigns. You have nurtured our minds, challenged us to think critically, and inspired us to explore our creativity with confidence. Because of you, we are no longer the same individuals who started this journey. We have grown mentally, learning to approach our tasks with clarity, focus, and discipline. We’ve discovered how to think like professionals, communicate like leaders, and carry ourselves with purpose.

    But the transformation hasn’t stopped there.

    You’ve also helped us grow spiritually—reminding us through your words and actions that integrity, humility, and kindness are not just values, but the true foundations of a meaningful life and career. Your character has spoken volumes. In the way you show up for us, in how you believe in us, and in how you handle challenges with grace—you have been a living example of wisdom and strength.

    And perhaps most profoundly, you have touched us emotionally. In a world where young professionals often feel unseen and uncertain, you have made each of us feel valued, respected, and capable. You’ve taken the time to listen, to encourage, and to walk with us—especially during moments when we doubted ourselves or felt overwhelmed. You have helped us believe not only in the work we do, but in the people we are becoming.

    It’s hard to put into words how much your presence has meant to us. You’ve been the steady voice in times of confusion, the gentle push when we needed motivation, and the celebrator of every small win along the way. Your dedication to our growth has lit a fire in us that we will carry long after this internship ends.

    Because of you, we are stepping into the professional world with not just skills—but with confidence, character, and purpose.

    Mr. Nkiwane, we thank you for your time, your energy, your patience, and your heart. We see the effort you put in. We feel the passion behind your leadership. And we carry the lessons you’ve taught us with pride and gratitude.

    You’ve changed our lives—and for that, we are forever thankful.

    With respect, admiration, and heartfelt appreciation,
    SayPro Intern Team

    A Tribute of Gratitude to Mrs. Nompumelelo Makhanya: The Quiet Force Behind the HWSETA – Governance for NPOs Programme

    There are some people whose presence quietly transforms lives—not through loud declarations, but through genuine care, unwavering support, and a heart committed to service. Mrs. Nompumelelo Makhanya, you are one of those extraordinary souls.

    Your role may often be behind the scenes, but the impact you’ve had is front and centre in the lives of many of us who were blessed to be part of this programme. You made the process smooth, you made us feel seen, and above all, you made us feel supported.

    You didn’t just assist with logistics and coordination—you became a source of warmth, hope, and reassurance in a journey that, for many, began with uncertainty.

    From the deepest part of our hearts, we say thank you. Thank you for your tireless work, your kindness, and your belief in our potential. You’ve contributed more than you know, and your legacy will live on in every organisation, every youth, and every dream you’ve helped strengthen.

    A Heartfelt Thank You to Mrs. Nozimbali Alidi: A Guiding Light Through the HWSETA Governance for NPOs Programme.

    There are people whose presence in our lives leaves a mark so deep, so meaningful, that words often fall short in capturing the impact they’ve made. Mrs. Nozimbali Alidi, you are one of those rare individuals.

    Through the HWSETA – Governance for NPOs Programme, you have been more than just a leader or facilitator. You have been a mentor, a motivator, and a mother-figure to many of us who stepped into the unknown, filled with hope and uncertainty. Your gentle yet firm guidance, your unwavering belief in us, and your warm, nurturing spirit have created an environment where we could grow, learn, and rise.

    Many of us came into this programme carrying the silent weight of unemployment, discouragement, and the constant fear of being left behind. But then came you—with a voice full of wisdom, a heart full of compassion, and a spirit committed to seeing young people and organisations flourish. You reminded us that we are capable, worthy, and destined for greater things.

    Because of your dedication and your helping hand, SayPro has begun to reach greater heights. Doors we once only dreamed of are beginning to open. Opportunities we once thought were out of reach are now within our grasp. Your support has helped shape SayPro into a more efficient, professional, and visionary organisation. Your guidance gave us the structure we needed, and your encouragement gave us the confidence to pursue more, do more, and become more.

    You haven’t only impacted individuals—you’ve strengthened entire organisations. You’ve played a key role in enabling SayPro to expand its reach and enhance its governance, positioning us to better serve communities and transform lives on a greater scale. And for that, we will forever be grateful.

    You gave us more than a programme—you gave us a future.

    From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Mrs. Nozimbali Alidi. Thank you for your time, your dedication, your sacrifices, and most importantly, for believing in us. Your legacy is already being written in the lives you’ve touched and the organisations you’ve uplifted.

    With eternal gratitude,
