The Sakh’Ulutsha Lifeskills Education Initiative was birthed in the early 1990s to “build our youth”.
By harnessing the energy and passion of volunteers, we deliver life changing programs to children and young people. Sakh’Ulutsha is an NPO and PBO and provides a wide range of youth development services in and out of school.
Vision
We dream of a transformed society where young people are filled with hope and are active change agents. We do this by building communities one young life at a time.
How we make an impact:
Sakh’Ulutsha’s teams present a range of exciting programmes, in two main areas:
Lifeskills education in schools
Safe places for youth development
Leaner support in schools
Peer education
Gender specific programs
Holiday Programs
Sport and other extra-curricular support
Youth center programs especially computers
Leadership development
STEM education
Embracing differences….Empowering all abilities
We are striving to be inclusive to youth that are differently abled and Deaf. We know that our programs to the differently abled and Deaf youth in South Africa will have tremendous value in promoting diversity, equality, and social inclusion.
These programs will create opportunities for young people with disabilities and hearing impairments to participate fully in society and develop their skills and talents, just like their peers. By breaking down barriers and challenging stereotypes, these programs will help to build a more inclusive and accepting society, where everyone can contribute and reach their full potential.
We are seeking like minded companies that understand the importance of inclusion to partner with us to develop resources and programs suitable to implement at our schools and communities for children with disabilities and the Deaf.
