CLIENTS :
Poor service delivery in all spheres of government is a serious concern in South Africa. At times it leads to violent strikes by community members. Triad of Hope Foundation is committed to working together with the National, Provincial and Local Governments including state entities to accelerate good service delivery.
As of 2022, South Africa’s population increased, counting approximately 60.6 million inhabitants. The country has a youth (14-35 years) population which is the majority of its entire population. This presents a unique situation for youth development; it implies that youth development in South Africa is not just a priority of the Youth sector but a nation’s main concern including the non-profit organizations/non-profit companies. The Triad of Hope Foundation also takes youth development as one of its priorities. Through its programmes, the foundation wishes to address the following youth challenges in Gauteng and Limpopo:
- Poor economic participation.
- Low levels of education & skills development
- Poor health & well-being
- Lack of Sporting activities for youth especially in previously disadvantaged communities
- Poor coordination and no recognition of youth work as a profession
- Gender-Based Violence
- Substance abuse.
- Violent and criminal behaviour.
