HURP Garden Route

South Africa’s Garden Route faces a severe crisis, with a 21% unemployment rate trapping many young people in poverty. Substance abuse and early pregnancies further compound the issue. In the 2022/2023 financial year, approximately 150,000 girls aged 10 to 19 fell pregnant, a sharp increase from 90,000 the previous year. At George Hospital alone, there were 400 births to mothers aged 15 to 19 in 2023. Alarmingly, only one-third of these young mothers return to school, exacerbating the cycle of poverty and limiting future prospects.

Hands-Up for Reaching Potential (HURP) offers a comprehensive solution to these pressing issues. Our initiative is designed to empower unemployed youth by providing them with high-quality, accredited education and training in ICT skills, retail, and hospitality. By addressing the root causes of unemployment and educational neglect, we help young people rewrite their own stories and build a brighter future.

Your generous donations directly support our mission to transform lives across the Garden Route. Here’s how your contribution makes a difference:

  • Educational Opportunities: Every donation helps us enroll students in accredited programs of their choice.
  • Essential Technology: Each student receives a tablet and data to ensure they have the tools needed for success.
  • Workplace Experience: We facilitate valuable work placements to give students hands-on experience and improve their employability.
  • Mentorship and Coaching: Ongoing support through mentorship and coaching provides guidance and encouragement, helping students to stay engaged and motivated. By investing in HURP, you are not only contributing to individual success stories but also fostering long-term community development. Your support is crucial in giving these young people the chance to overcome adversity, gain meaningful employment, and create a future filled with hope and opportunity. Join us in making a real impact—help us empower the next generation and pave the way for a brighter tomorrow.

HURP Sondagsriver Valley EC

In South Africa’s Eastern Cape, unemployment has reached a staggering 42.4%, leaving many young people in a state of vulnerability and despair. This high rate of unemployment is compounded by substance abuse, inadequate access to education, and early school dropouts. A significant portion of youth face barriers such as poor foundational skills in math and literacy, which further hinder their ability to pursue higher education and secure stable employment.

Our comprehensive approach empowers unemployed youth by providing access to accredited education and training in ICT skills, retail, hospitality, and foundational skills.

HURP Food Project

At HURP, our dedication to working in marginalized communities has exposed us to the harsh reality of hunger among children. We’ve seen firsthand the impact of kids going to school on an empty stomach, which drives our commitment to ensure they are nourished and ready to learn. Our food parcels are scientifically designed to provide the essential vitamins and minerals needed for children to function optimally every day. With every R1000 raised, we can feed 5 children two meals a day for an entire month. By supporting this effort, you help us ensure that no child has to face hunger, allowing them to thrive and reach their full potential. We are passionate about making sure that every child receives the nutrition they need to succeed
