Winterveld's Youth Empowerment Programme.
Princess Mosikare from Mabopane is a student from a known
organization Katekani Community Project that was founded in 2015, located in
Winterveld. Miss Mosikare talks about how this community project has helped her
improve her life. “I started late February,2021. The content of the Life Skills
that I was attending was very impactful in my life because it is all about
personal development, communication, and job preparedness. So, I learned about
how to make a CV, to communicate, how to develop myself because I was a shy
person, now am better and able to communicate with other people,” said Princess.
Katekani Community Project is an organization made to
empower the youth of Soshanguve as a whole. This organization offers the youth
with four perspective pillars which are comprehensive information, social
program, skills development, and entrepreneurial skills. “We normally saw that
our youth is staying at home, and they don’t have a clue on what to do with
their lives, so we wanted to develop them with our skills that we offer in our
organization so that they can be fully developed and get job opportunities. Learnerships
school wise” said Lebogang Mpjana the facilitator reasoning on why they started
the organization in the first place.Princess Mosikare one of the students attending

According to Lebogang, Katekani Community Project is a
non-profit organization, and they are getting their funding from the Department
of Social Development, and it takes no costs to study and get the skills
offered in the organization. “We don’t pay anything, the only thing that we pay
for is the certificate lamination,” said Miss Mosikare to back Mr. Mpjana’s
statement. “Katekani Community Projects does not only teach the youth about
skills but at the end of the course the students get their certificates as
proof that they are now skilled and were attending throughout the programme”
said Lebogang the facilitator.
