PROFILE
Youth for Christ
Mpumalanga
is a Christian youth
agency directly
addressing the problems
and needs of young
people
since 1995.
YFC is an international
organisation that now
operates in 21 districts
around South Africa and
127 countries worldwide.
One of our major
emphases is to rebuild
the lives of
historically
disadvantaged children
and young people by
participating in their
Physical, Mental, Social
and Spiritual
development. Our
ministry models
include
peer education and HIV/
life skills programs
in 15 schools,
Options Care Centre
(crisis pregnancy and
HIV counseling),
job creation, camps
and
youth leadership
development training.
YFC works in Nelspruit,
Ka-Nyamazane, Msogwaba,
Kabokweni, Clau Clau,
Mganduzweni, Waterval
Boven, Machadadorp and
Siyabuswa, with plans
for future expansion.
YFC and its staff are
passionate and committed
to serving and
developing young
people. We believe
young people have great
potential and much to
offer in terms of
thinking, creativity,
addressing social
issues, making good
decisions for their
lives.
Many young people face
enormous challenges as a
result of circumstances
both in and out of their
control. YFC want to
offer these young people
hope for a better future
through our programmes.
YFC hopes to bring about
transformation in the
communities where we
serve by touching,
challenging and
improving the lives of
others.
We depend on God and
ordinary people to help
us in the following
ways:
·
To sustain us
spiritually,
emotionally, mentally
and physically.
·
Staff and Volunteers who
help us to implement our
work and serve young
people with passion.
·
Government, churches,
business and individuals
to fund our projects.
·
Communities, schools and
youth who allow us to
implement programs that
will serve them.
