Introduction and problem analysis In a paper from 2011 the National Treasury emphasize that high youth unemployment means young people are not acquiring the skills or experience needed to drive the economy forward. This inhibits the country’s economic development and imposes a larger burden on the state to provide social assistance. They summarize the facts as follows: - About 42 percent of young people under the age of 30 are unemployed compared with less than 17 percent of adults over 30. Why are young people unemployed? - Only 12.5 percent of working age adults under 25 years of age has a job, compared with 40 percent in most emerging economies. - Employment of 18 to 24 year olds has fallen by more than 20 per cent (320 000) since December 2008. Unemployed young people tend to be less skilled and inexperienced – almost 86 percent do not have formal further or tertiary education, while two-thirds have never worked. - Chapter 9 of National Development Plan 2030, on improving education, training and innovation, SayPro Youth fits within provide 1 million learning opportunities through community education and training centers

Every year that a young person remains unemployed, increases the chances of them entering a life of crime, poverty, drugs, prostitution and hopelessness. In view of the above and the ongoing devastating unemployment among youth in Diepsloot and the country at large, the purpose of the program is to ready young people for any further training or education they may do. Many students are not prepared for the demands of skills courses or employment or indeed life. To this end the course focusses on enabling mature agency. Youth are important change agents within their unique social contexts.

Southern Africa Youth Project aims to equip youth to take their place in our global society we must take heed to their holistic development. Young people do not know or understand themselves, much less the world around them. They do not have any idea of the philosophical, neurological or psychological basis of maturation and learning. Furthermore they have forgotten how to question, and if they do, they question without a clear objective. Their natural curiosity and explorative minds have been aggressively and deliberately suppressed.

Many young people in townships where we operate enroll in higher education institutions but ultimately drop out because they cannot afford the costs for transportation and tuition. They enroll in higher education institutions but register for courses that do not fit their interests or strengths. As a result, their self-esteem and self-efficacy are at low levels and they are not empowered to take ownership of their own lives. They end up employed in retail shops where they are unqualified to work. Many end up being dismissed from work due to bad attitudes or poor customer service skills. Most cannot operate computers in a working environment. Some are unable to find or retain employment despite having completed high school or university. SayPro Youth offers trainings through your funding which will enable them to be self-sufficient and not be dependent on others for their survival and there are usually few or no sympathetic lawyers operating in township areas.
