Welcome to the Kliptown Youth Program

P o s i t i v e   i n i t i a t i v e s   b r i n g   s u c c e s s  . . .
KYP’s mission is to eradicate the poverty of mind, body, and soul and to fight against the disadvantages imposed on the children of Kliptown, by providing educational support and after school activities. It seeks to develop young and dynamic individuals who are willing to contribute effectively for the betterment of their community. 

Our tutoring, athletic, and arts programs provide a life to the children of Kliptown not defined  by survival, but by the ability to be active community members, to have dreams, and most of all to have hope about the future.

This year they doubled the number of volunteers to 20 after an overwhelming number of applications of up to 1200, indicating very encouraging growth in the programme. Read more
