Community Transformation Turns the Page!

Community Transformation has seen one of their young boys from one of our Community Hubs turn the page! 

Despite facing significant challenges at home this young boy’s determination to succeed remains unwavering. A few years ago during an assessment of the reading age of some of our young people, it was discovered that many of them had reading ages that were 5-6 years younger than it was supposed to be. Over the last 18 months, our team has been working tirelessly, in partnership with Youth In Transformation, to see change in the area of education.

Many of our hub attendees, including this young person, face many hurdles and sometimes even arrive at school on an empty stomach. Yet, this young boy’s difficult circumstances have not deterred him from striving for excellence. Remarkably, this young person is the top student at our Community Hub in Parkwood, consistently achieving high marks with an impressive average of 7s every year. Just last term, he earned six certificates, a testament to his hard work and dedication.

This story is a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of our young people and a testament to the team on the ground. Despite the adversity our young people face, they continue to excel academically and set an example for others. This journey underscores the impact of support and determination, proving that even in the toughest conditions, success is possible.

Join us in prayer for the communities we work in; Nyanga, Parkwood, Jozie East and Kewtown.
