Meet the boys of the Sibusiso Center

In January, 18 boys started a 6-month program at the Sibusiso Center.
In this program, they work on their social skills, self-confidence, and self-reliance.

Through sports and games, classroom lessons, and training in oral and social skills, they are gradually growing towards a future where they can better care for themselves and contribute to their families and communities. A warm welcome to the Sibusiso Center!
