Real Youth International

RYI acknowledges the psychological breakdown of SA communities through apartheid, as such, our story sees a success of a township institutions to level up in the international playground, as leaders and strong role players in all competitive industries. Following years of trial and error in Khayelitsha, RYI constantly develops strategies to engage youth in leadership roles to influence a new pattern of psychological advance. Our organisation partners with schools and homes, who form crucial stakeholders in developing an positive effective cycle, that not only eradicates mass skepticism but builds competitive best practices to develop a township child.

Describe in detail what your Organisation does:

 

• Real Youth International fosters positive attitudes of self-belief and self-esteem, pivotal to a goal setting culture which are empowered by their sports start “avatar”. Our programmes sessions aim to make aware an inner greatness, we simply provide the theater for their best versions to take shape.RYI provides sports management services for schools, households and community programmes in South African townships. Through hosting leagues, sports events, managing school sports, hosting social programmes, we have access to educating the future leaders of Africa. We believe most work has to be done toward the empowerment of the African psychology. We thereofre influence quality sports attributes to advance household cohesion and encourage child-parent activities in township communities.

 

How long has your Organisation been operational?

In your opinion, what has been the most challenging aspect of running your Organisation?

 

• Insufficient Management
  As a founder of the org anisation, it has been my obligation to find suitable, driven boardmember to work along. 
• Human Resource
  Given enough resources allocated, we could fund salaries and create employment for training, and placement to a partner school as Sport Admin. We need funding to create leadership jobs.

   

• Fundraising SGB
  We will influence workshops for a fundraising committee. Many township schools afford to fund their own sport programmes and improve township quality education.

   

• Access to funds
  With access to funds we would activate hundreds of sports programmes, using marketing as an attractive tool, we are confident that mass psychology is key toward progressive communities.
