Masande Youth Programme South Africa is a young country, achieving democracy little more than a decade ago. It is also young in that, in contrast with the developed world, nearly 40 per cent of its people are between the ages of 14 and 35. Nearly half of youth between the ages of 16-25 in the Western Cape are unemployed. School drop out rates are high – only about 50 per cent of those enrolled at Grade 1 reach Grade 12. Another major issue among our youth is HIV and AIDS. CWD's response is to provide opportunities and activities for social inclusion and to highlight healthy alternatives for vulnerable young people within low-income communities. What we do The Masande Youth Programme focuses on:
The programme has strong working relations with other youth groups and is an active stakeholder in Youth Unlimited (YU), which focuses on behavioural change workshops and programmes for street children and youth at risk. Please click
