Sozo: A Light in the Darkness

Story

Load shedding has caused significant additional stresses on the already stressed South African economy and the nation as a whole. For our young people and staff living in Vrygrond we have seen an unprecedented escalation of crime and violent crime in an already high crime red zone area.

At our skills centre in the Business park, all our training comes to a halt the moment load shedding kicks in, in that instance not even battery packs will suffice to allow students to continue training.

We are aiming to raise R67,000 today in aid of Mandela Day to ensure we can keep the coffee brewing!

With every young person that is educated, trained, equipped and skilled we are making a difference in our nation. Every pound donated will go directly to the energy supply so that Sozo can be safer, more sustainable, more productive and effective in achieving our main goal to create pathways to youth employment as we are slaying the giant of 77% youth unemployment.
