Kgabo's Dream
#UntoldStories
Painting and sketching are among Kgabo’s passions and hobbies, and they make him the happiest. As a result, his school subjects include EGD (Engineering, Graphic, and Design), which for him are subjects that will lead him to his dream profession as an Automotive Design Engineer.
He appreciates how the Afrika Tikkun Child Youth Development Programme (CYD) empowers and teaches him not only about his academics but also about areas outside of his studies. Afrika Tikkun has become a home away from home for him, where he is able to connect with different people and get fresh perspectives on life, because life does not end in Alex. He says, “There is a big world full with opportunities, and the CYD programme exposes you to many excellent ones”.
We are dedicated to provide Kgabo and other young people like him with well-rounded perspectives on life, which includes developing skills, classes that complement curriculum, empowering life skills, as well as nurturing and encouraging our youth’s aspirations.

Help us shape Kgabo’s world
As part of our Child Youth Development programme (CYD), Kgabo has learned computer skills, study skills, independence, and how to put together a winning CV. He loves how much he has grown his skills and himself as an individual in the CYD programme. He also enjoys the camps programme’s youth attend, where more learning and development occurs through meeting and engaging with new people, sharing different ideas, team building, and having diverse experiences that open him up to thinking differently.
