🚗 DRIVER'S LICENSE PROGRAMME IN PROGRESS - GAMAGARA! 🚗

Theme: "Driving Youth Towards Better Opportunities"

The Community Foundation of Liberty in partnership with the Kathu Solar Community Trust is proud to announce the successful rollout of our Driver's License Programme for youth around Gamagara.

The programme officially started on the 15th of October 2026, with 20 young people enrolled.

We are excited to share that within a short space of time, we are already seeing great results! 10 of our learners have already obtained their Learner's Licenses and are now proceeding to the next phase - their Driver's License.

This is a huge achievement and a testament to the dedication of our youth.

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME:

1. To Empower Youth with Skills: To equip young people with a driver's license as a critical skill that opens doors to employment and entrepreneurship.

2. To Enhance Employability:To increase the chances of our youth getting better jobs, as most opportunities today require a valid driver's license.

3. To Keep Youth Productive: To keep our youth engaged in meaningful development and away from negative influences.

IMPACT:

The impact of this programme is already visible. Our youth are motivated, committed, and pulling up their socks to uplift themselves. A driver's license is not just a document - it is a tool for independence, for better work opportunities, and for a better future.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to:

1. Kathu Solar Community Trust - Thank you for funding this life-changing project and for your continued commitment to youth development in Gamagara. Your good work is changing lives.

2. Gamagara Municipality - Thank you for enabling this process and for confirming and supporting the work of the Community Foundation of Liberty in the community.

3. To our 20 dedicated youth - Thank you for your discipline, your focus, and your hunger to learn. Keep pushing!

Together, we are driving change, one license at a time.

God things happen for those that love the Lord and change

Substance abuse is one if the greatest pandemics we currently facing! It is the only thing that can cause damage on the inside and the outside physically‼️

A few months ago Lesedi walked into our home very overwhelmed with so much tears in her eyes because of substance abuse 🥹 Not knowing what to expect and a heart willing to change and surrender.

When you can not any more and tired of living a life and guilt and shame all you need to do is surrender your life to GOD

We would like to thank Foundation of Liberty for their hearts for the community of Siyathemba in Katu and helping families affected by substance abuse

Together we can make a difference ‼️‼️

🤝 REFRESHER & REINTEGRATION SESSION HOSTED BY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF LIBERTY 💙

Theme: "The Journey Continues After Rehab"

Today, the Community Foundation of Liberty hosted a powerful Catch-Up and Refresher Training at the Siyathemba Youth Centre for our youth who recently returned from Rehab.

This follow-up session was all about checking in on them - how are they coping since they came back, how are things at home, and what challenges are they facing in the community.

It was a safe, open, and honest engagement where our youth shared their victories, their struggles, and their commitment to stay clean.

OBJECTIVES OF THE SESSION:

1. To Follow Up and Support: To monitor the progress of our youth after rehab and show them they are not alone on this journey.

2. To Strengthen Reintegration:To help them cope with life back at home, in their families and in the community, and avoid relapse.

3. To Refresh Life Skills:To remind them of the coping tools, life skills and relapse prevention strategies they learned in rehab.

4. To Encourage Accountability: To create a support circle where they motivate each other to stay on the right path.

IMPACT:

The impact of this session is crucial. Rehabilitation does not end when you leave the centre - that is when the real test begins.

Today we listened, we counselled, and we re-affirmed our commitment to walk this road with them. Our youth left feeling heard, supported, and empowered to continue living a drug-free life. This is how we prevent relapse and build lasting change.

We are so proud of their honesty and courage!

Recovery is a daily journey, and we are with them every step of the way.

📚 SCHOOL OUTREACH PROGRAMME AT LANGBERG HIGH SCHOOL - OLIFANTSHOEK! 💙

Theme: "Empowering Youth Through Knowledge: Health, Mind & Body"

Today, the Community Foundation of Liberty in partnership with Boipelo Resources and All of Education successfully hosted a powerful Youth Awareness Programmeat Langberg High School in Olifantshoek.

Our team of mentors engaged with learners on three critical issues affecting our youth: Teenage Pregnancy, Mental Health, and Personal Hygiene.

We had open, honest, and life-changing conversations with the kids - creating a safe space where they could ask, learn, and be heard.

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME:

1. To Address Teenage Pregnancy: To educate learners on the consequences of early sexual activity, the importance of abstinence, making informed choices, and focusing on their education and future.

2. To Promote Mental Health Awareness:To teach learners that mental health is just as important as physical health, to help them identify stress, anxiety and depression, and to encourage them to speak up and seek help.

3. To Improve Personal Hygiene: To emphasize the importance of cleanliness, self-care and dignity, especially during adolescence, as a foundation for self-confidence and good health.

4. To Empower Through Education:To equip young people with accurate information so they can make responsible decisions and become leaders in their own lives.

IMPACT:

The impact was immediate and powerful. Learners were engaged, asked critical questions, and left with knowledge that can change their lives.

We are breaking the silence around topics that are often considered taboo. By talking about teenage pregnancy, we are helping keep girls in school. By talking about mental health, we are saving lives and showing learners they are not alone. By talking about hygiene, we are restoring dignity and confidence.

We believe that when you educate a child, you empower a whole community.

Thank you to the Principal, educators, and learners of Langberg High School for the warm welcome!

Together we are building a healthier, stronger, and more informed generation!
