Ignition Youth Development

 Alexandra, Johannesburg  Poverty Alleviation  Education

We are an organisation with a dedicated focus on Alexandra Township, situated just outside Sandton, Johannesburg. Alex is known for its high poverty rates, population density, and crime prevalence. Each year, we carefully select a cohort of 25 to 30 youth from Alex. These young individuals come from profoundly challenging socio-economic backgrounds, often navigating conditions of food insecurity, residing in single-parent households, and confronting various hurdles in their educational journeys. We build a community of students, from the same background, who understand each others challenges.
