Description
Youth Life was founded by two young community members (Thandi Phungula, and Isaac Makae) in the small community of Boipatong/Tshepiso, Vanderbijlpark, Gauteng, South Africa.It was in 2007 August when we decided to establish the organisation after an intensive research and consultation with various stakeholders (youth, business, women and children) within the community about major issues that affect their everyday lives.
VISION
We firmly believe that every human being, especially women and children, have the right to quality of life.
MISSION
Achieving full community life for youth – one person at a time.
