Transformational stories

In their own words

Nozenzo Sithole
“Through their guidance, I gained confidence, direction, and skills that continue to shape my future.”

In 2020, I completed a Business Administration Learnership at UKZN Westville during the Covid-19 pandemic, gaining production experience and computer literacy. With Adams SOS Centre's continued support, I later joined the Toyota Youth Employment Service Programme, which unlocked more doors of opportunity. Thank you, Adams SOS Centre, for believing in my potential and helping me build a brighter future.

“It gave me a safe space to grow, discover my talents, and learn the values of discipline, resilience, and giving back.”

Adams Mission Community SOS Centre was the foundation of my journey as a leader. The mentorship I received inspired me to empower others, and today I continue to carry those values through my work in arts, entrepreneurship, and youth development.
