Seeing a life change as a direct result of your support is an extremely rewarding experience. Helping someone go from unemployed to successfully navigating the job market is a crucial part of what we do. As a non-profit organization, Wamakersvallei depends on the support of businesses and individuals who fund the institution or selected students. While we aim to empower the members of the community by equipping them with the necessary skills needed to enter the job market, we require funding to give our students the best possible facilities and experience.

WHY YOU SHOULD CARE
Unemployment in South Africa is an epidemic, and often once someone falls out of the job market, they get left behind. Wamakersvallei’s vision is to provide training to the disadvantaged and marginalized community of the Drakenstein, and give people the hand they need to re-enter the workforce. Our holistic approach directly influences the unemployment rate in our country. We equip individuals to take ownership of and lead healthy happy lives. Aside from the formal training, an important part of the curriculum of the Wamakersvallei Training Centre is to provide training to students with regards to Life Skills, HIV/AIDS, Drug and Alcohol Abuse and Pregnancy. We also are privileged to have the services of a psychologist to assist the students. This is the difference you make as a sponsor. Without you, none of this is possible.
WITH YOUR SUPPORT
WE ARE ABLE TO:
– Offer the high quality of training we currently provide our beneficiaries.
– Be sustainable by keeping costs low.
– Stay on top of new market tendencies and needs.
– Ensure market related/orientated training.
– Ensure that students are job ready and instantly employable.
– We will appreciate assistance in the form of speakers on relevant topics, medical and social welfare to students, communications and IT support, as well as, student placements.
