Melanie Lippert is fundraising for Resilient Youth, Thriving Communities
by Sisanda FunDaytion
I believe Resilient Youth, Thriving Communities is a great cause. I am doing this because...I believe that youth empowered with skills, provided with opportunities to practise these skills and demonstrate being positive role models in their own communications help bring change to themselves, their community and their country.

This project is raising funds to provide up to 50 young people with skills development, mentorship, and mental health support through the Youth Play Ambassadors programme over a 12-month period. The project addresses youth unemployment in South Africa by assisting participants to develop leadership and workplace skills by taking on roles of responsibility within their communities, ultimately reaching over 100 families and 500 children through active contribution to community programmes.
For many young people, the challenge is not only the lack of jobs, but the absence of opportunities to build skills, develop confidence, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. At the same time, many are navigating the effects of ongoing stress and trauma, with limited access to mental health support. Without intervention, this combination significantly increases the risk of longterm social and economic exclusion.
This project is for young people living in under-resourced communities who are actively seeking opportunities to grow, but lack access to structured support systems.
