FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE
Founded in the early 1990s, the Sakh’Ulutsha Life Skills Education Initiative was created with a simple yet powerful mission: empower young people. By channelling the dedication, energy and passion of our team, we deliver transformative programs that equip children and young people with the skills they need to thrive.
As a registered NPO and PBO, Sakh’Ulutsha offers a wide range of youth development services, both in and out of schools, aimed at nurturing leadership, resilience, and personal growth in the next generation.
OUR VISION
for a Transformed Society
We envision a society where young people are filled with hope, purpose, and the drive to be active change-makers. Our mission is to build stronger communities by transforming lives—one young person at a time.
HOW DO WE MAKE AN IMPACT?
Sakh’Ulutsha presents a range of exciting programs in four main area:
LEADERSHIP TRAINING

LIFESKILLS TRAINING
Promoting emotional intelligence, healthy relationships, and responsible citizenship through tailored life skills programs.

HOLIDAY PROGRAMS
Creating fun, safe environments where children and youth develop life skills and grow through engaging activities.
EMBRACING DIFFERENCES – EMPOWERING ALL ABILITIES
Sakh’Ulutsha is committed to being inclusive of youth who are differently abled and the Deaf. We believe that our programs for these young people will greatly contribute to fostering diversity, equality, and social inclusion in South Africa.
These initiatives will provide opportunities for youth with disabilities and hearing impairments to participate fully in society, develop their skills, and thrive alongside their peers. By breaking down barriers and challenging stereotypes, we aim to build a more inclusive community where everyone can reach their full potential.
Get in touch with us to discuss ways of implementing these resources and programs tailored for children with disabilities and the Deaf in your schools and communities.
Sakh’Ulutsha has been privileged to reach around 80,000 young people every year for the past three decades.
Our involvement has been tried and tested and earned the respect and appreciation of not just community leaders, but significant large donors such as PEPFAR, the Global Fund to Fight HIV, AIDS and TB, PACT and Kindernothilfe (KNH), over multi-year relationships.
We are particularly privileged to have had our impact scrutinized by leading independent researchers:
