The Hugo Tempelman Foundation is delighted to announce that it has once again received a generous donation from RTL Spendenmarathon as part of the “RTL Wir helfen Kindern” initiative. This significant financial support will help to realize an expansion of our vocational training facility to curb youth unemployment in South Africa.
Our main aim is to improve the situation of young people in rural South Africa, whose future prospects are severely limited due to a lack of educational opportunities. The average age of school leavers in this region is an alarmingly low 13.5 years. Without a solid foundation for a stable future, these young people face various challenges, such as increasing alcohol and drug abuse, teenage pregnancies, rape, prostitution and rising youth crime.
To help these young people in need, we have joined forces with the Ndlovu Care Group to reach them through early vocational training and offer them permanent employment opportunities. Manual skills are rare in the region, but at the same time in high demand. By expanding the building and equipping our vocational school with the necessary equipment for the electricity department, we can give these young people the opportunity to receive qualified training and then build a sustainable career.
The generous donation from RTL Wir helfen Kindern enables us to drive this important project forward and make a lasting difference to the lives of many disadvantaged young people. We are sincerely grateful to RTL and the entire “RTL Wir helfen Kindern” initiative for their support and commitment to bringing about positive change in the world.
