Neftaly Youth Development Intake – 25 January 2016
On 25 January 2016, Neftaly proudly facilitated the intake of 80,512 young beneficiaries into its youth development programmes. This historic milestone was made possible through a dynamic partnership with the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund (NMCF) and Comic Relief, both of whom share Neftaly’s vision of empowering young people to thrive and create sustainable futures.
The initiative focused on providing opportunities for education, skills development, and social empowerment to vulnerable and underserved youth across South Africa. By working together with these globally respected organisations, Neftaly was able to reach tens of thousands of young people, giving them access to resources, mentorship, and platforms that promote growth, resilience, and leadership.
This intake not only reflects Neftaly’s commitment to scale and impact but also stands as a testament to the power of collaboration in transforming communities. With 80,512 youth engaged, the programme has contributed to strengthening families, uplifting communities, and building pathways toward a brighter future for South Africa’s next generation.
