Our mission is to lead the delivery of comprehensive, high-quality, high-impact one-to-one mentorship programmes throughout South Africa (and beyond), helping young people everywhere improve their independence and well-being, through better-quality decision making and consistent healthy practices. "SAYes programmes involve nine months of weekly, one-hour, one-to-one mentoring sessions. Since 2008, we have supported over 1400 matches- achieving an 81% graduation rate over 15 years of social change."
Each of GlobalGiving’s nonprofit partners is required to send quarterly donor reports detailing the impact of their work. Here are some of their recent updates:
