BOYS TO MEN

According to founders The Community Foundation, the programme focuses on 100 boys who are orphaned, in conflict with the law, school dropouts, gender-based violence (GBV) victims or experienced major trauma.

The Community Foundation was established to formalise programme and initiatives in Hanover Park and surrounding areas, with a focus on driving community-led change, particularly among the youth between the ages of 8 to 20 years old.

Co-founder and Head of Operations Zainab Karriem said that The First 100 is a two-year programme that supports 100 boys and their parents or guardians through partnerships with the Hanover Park Day Hospital, Department of Correctional Services, the local library, the South African Police Service and other community stakeholders.
