Neftaly Youth Intake – 28 January 2016
On 28 January 2016, Neftaly proudly welcomed a new intake of young beneficiaries, reaching an impressive 80,512 youth across South Africa.
This milestone was made possible through a strong partnership with the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund (NMCF) and Comic Relief, two organisations that share Neftaly’s vision of empowering young people and creating lasting social change.
The programme was designed to provide opportunities for growth, skills development, and support to disadvantaged youth, ensuring that they are better prepared to pursue education, employment, and meaningful participation in society.
Through this collaboration, Neftaly has been able to:
- Engage over 80,000 youth in impactful initiatives.
- Deliver skills, training, and mentorship to support long-term empowerment.
- Strengthen networks and resources that give young people a platform to thrive.
This intake represents a significant step in Neftaly’s ongoing mission to uplift young lives, build stronger communities, and inspire the leaders of tomorrow.
