The Rays of Hope non-profit organisation continues to work towards improving the lives of the youth in the community.
The foundation recently hosted children between the ages of three and six of the Hlayisanani Early Childhood Development Centre and Grade 1 to 3 learners of the Yarona after school programme in Alexandra to learn about their rights and responsibilities.
Facilitated by the Graca Machel Trust, the programme is designed to engage children with catchy animated photos to teach them about their rights and responsibilities in a language that they can understand.
According to Rays of Hope education social worker Tsholo Mabeleng, the programme is also aimed at helping young children identify and report instances of abuse.
“In Alexandra, the children often witness and even fall victim to traumatic incidents and child rights offences, and many are unaware of how to deal with these situations, or that they should seek help from an adult or a professional,” said Mabeleng.
Rays of Hope’s goal is to continue to provide these valuable and insightful sessions to youth of all ages across Alexandra.
