South Africa – A School to Build the Future

South Africa – A School to Build the Future

TakeMeBack and VYA are joining forces to provide children and teens in the townships with a suitable space to study and create new opportunities

TakeMeBack is launching a new mission in South Africa, alongside VYA, an organization founded by an Italian team that works in townships through projects focused on education, sports, food assistance, and vocational training.

In these communities, even having a desk, a blackboard, or the supplies needed to study can make a huge difference. That’s why we’re launching a new fundraising campaign aimed at making tangible improvements to the after-school program attended by the children and teens supported by VYA.

School as an Opportunity

In South Africa, achieving good academic results can offer a real chance to change one’s future. For many children in the townships, however, the path is particularly difficult: according to data collected by VYA, more than 85% fail at least once during their school years. The after-school program was created precisely for this reason: to support children and teens in their studies, help them overcome difficulties, and create the conditions for them to access new opportunities.

The first goal: 1,600 euros for 50 children

The first fundraising goal is 1,600 euros. With this amount, we will purchase desks and school supplies directly in South Africa for 50 children, providing them with a more suitable space in which to study and participate in after-school activities. If the fundraising total exceeds this initial goal, the project will be able to expand further, allowing us to gradually extend our support to reach 150 children and teenagers in the community.
