We want to upskill young people from Alex with work readiness and life skills training, which is a 5-day course that will equip them to manage their lives better, budget their finances, look for work, keep a job when they find one, behave well in the
workplace, etc.
The beneficiaries will be young people from Alex aged between 18 and 35, who are:
- unemployed currently but will hopefully over time be able to find employment, start their own company, etc.
- participating in a YES placement, learnership, internship
- employed part-time but still lacking the basic skills
Rays of Hope started operating with one project in 1991 and has grown to a network of 9 community-based projects, focusing on unemployment, health care, education, and orphans & vulnerable children. Over 1000 people are impacted in total. As such, the organisation is hands-on in Alex, having developed close relationships with community leaders, the police, high schools, the Alexandra Clinic and the Department of Social Development, which has enabled it to leverage appropriate assistance where available and necessary.
Every year we impact more and more people – directly and indirectly through our programmes, partner networks and
community involvement. In previous years we have impacted about 2,500 people but this year, when lockdown hit, we
changed focus and became a massive food distribution organisation, which provided food to over 60,000 people across Alex.
