“Education’s purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open mind.”

Our Emerge Project learners recently participated in a workshop hosted by Sarah from Safe Pad exploring menstrual health and topics relating to the human body and hygiene. Our learners had an opportunity to engage and share issues that they face within the community, as well as educate themselves so that they can empower others with the knowledge they received. Thank you to Safe Pad for creating a safe space for our learners to learn and engage.

Meet one of our current Digital Design students Elton Jonker who finished High school last year.

He is the first student to test his skills and he has designed Sozo Youth Cafés first original coffee menu and printed it our ready to be used!
He is also developing his entrepreneurship through recently acquiring his first outside client job doing commissioned paintings.

Our trainer Keenan says:
"I'm so proud of him because he had so much confidence in his creation! Now he will be helping me work on a mural in a shop in Muizenberg. He really has a bright future in the creative world."
