Imagine a future where South Africa’s youth are empowered to break the cycle of gender-based violence and reach their potential
Equipped with respectful relationship skills, they create new resilient families and thriving communities.
“Youth Relationship Education” (YRE ) is a proven solution to one of the country’s biggest challenges—violence and unsafe school environments, fuelled by a lack of good role models and early education on healthy relationships.
This program tackles the root causes of issues like gender-based violence, unwanted teenage pregnancy, Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and school dropout rates, by equipping learners with life-changing skills in conflict management, responsible decision-making, and goal-setting.
With a demonstrated return on investment of $14 for every $1 spent, (JJ Heckman Nobel Laureate Economist) YRE is not just impactful—it’s incredibly cost-effective.
Partnering with schools and communities, we’ve already reached over 7,500 learners with an 84% satisfaction score and overwhelming recommendations from learners, teachers and principals. Piloted in Western Cape and ready for further replication.
By supporting YRE, you’re investing in a sustainable, scalable program that creates real, measurable change. Together, we can ensure safer schools, stronger families, and a brighter future for South Africa. Please join us in making this vision a reality
