They cater for all grades for free.

According to the co-founder, Thabang Karabo Setoaba, the foundation recognises each child as unique and special.

“A major step is taken towards alleviating poverty in these communities by addressing the educational needs of underprivileged children.

“These learners cannot achieve their potential without education and cannot take advantage of the opportunities they have to improve their position.

“Youth Development Solutions helps them to develop positive self-worth and then equips them with the ability to do something about their situation. The key is to understand their needs, earn their trust and then walk with them towards better turn-up rates and performances in school.

“We are also seeking stationery donations. We are calling upon all individuals to help us,” said Setoaba.
