At Sakh’Ulutsha, we are committed to empowering young people, which is why we exist.

Our passion for South Africa’s youth drives everything we do. We believe the future of our country rests in their hands, and we aim to equip them to become effective, hardworking, and positive citizens, ready to contribute to South Africa’s growth and development.

Our journey began in 1991, responding to the HIV pandemic, which deeply impacted our communities. Recognizing the urgent need, we focused on helping young people make life-saving decisions—steering clear of high-risk behaviours linked to HIV, substance abuse, and crime. We firmly believe that empowering youth with the skills to make informed, positive choices shapes who they become in the future.

Over time, our work has expanded. Today, we offer a holistic approach to youth development, addressing key areas such as employment, sports, leadership, and education. We strive to nurture every aspect of a young person’s life, providing a diverse range of growth opportunities.

Our partnerships are crucial to our success. We collaborate with schools, faith-based organisations, community-based organizations, local governments, and various foundations ensuring that the support young people receive is continuous and far-reaching.

We recognize that it truly takes a village to raise a child, and together, we are building a brighter future

Our vision extends beyond the direct work we do with young people.

We believe that true transformation happens when organisations come together, leveraging their collective strengths to create a lasting impact.

This is why we are committed to becoming enablers—supporting and collaborating with other foundations and initiatives to amplify our shared mission of youth empowerment.

With over 30 years of experience in youth development, we have built a strong foundation of expertise, trained staff, and successful programs. Now, we want to extend this knowledge and capacity to others, partnering with like-minded organisations and volunteers to expand our reach and deepen our impact. By working together, we can address more of the complex challenges that young people face and offer more comprehensive support to the communities we serve.

Our goal is simple: to pool resources, share knowledge, and collaborate on innovative programs that can shape the future of South Africa’s youth. Whether it’s leadership development or life skills training, we are ready to contribute our experience and work alongside other foundations to drive positive change on a larger scale.

We invite those who share our passion for empowering young people to join us in this journey. Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient generation—one that is equipped to lead, innovate, and transform society for the better. By enabling each other, we can achieve far more than we ever could alone.

To enhance our ability to serve more communities and schools, we have established the Sakh’Ulutsha Stationery With Purpose Initiative, which will serve as an income-generating project where all proceeds will go towards implementing our programs in schools in the rural and disadvantaged communities of South Africa.

We have an online store that will allow your schools or parents to register their grade-specific stationery kits, which will then be available to purchase with one click, and delivered straight to their school or home.

Our goal is to provide high-quality stationery at reasonable prices, making the purchase process convenient for parents and ensuring the kits align with schools’ specifications.

Our mission is to empower youth in South Africa by providing them with essential tools and resources, enabling them to thrive academically and creatively. Our products are mostly geared towards learners, but we are able to supply for any stationery needs that may arise.

We are inviting you to collaborate with us in the transformative journey of Sakh’Ulutsha Stationary with Purpose. Orders and enquiries can be sent to orders@stationerywithpurpose.co.za
