Mpumalanga Youth Council Organization

Mpumalanga Youth Council Organization was founded and registered as a non-profit Community Based Organization in Embalenhle, South Africa in 2015. It was established with a mandate to help and support disadvantaged children, sustain livelihoods and human rights for the most vulnerable, school dropouts, abandoned or simply living in acute poverty and are frequently affected by the ravages of HIV/AIDS.

The Main Purpose of the Organisation:

It is to help children & youth from disadvantaged families, street-kids, school dropouts, abandoned & child headed families that are the most vulnerable children. It is our belief that the support of orphanages to provide care where destitute children can be nurtured and given sound Christian principles and a decent education should be our concern as citizens.

MYCO Operational Activities:

The children at the Centre, are provided a daily cooked meal, academic support with homework daily and twice monthly on Saturdays plus extra mural activities such as painting and sporting activities, with children & youth within the community.
With the after-school programs the children will be supervised by trained professionals providing daily structured programs and activities from Monday – Saturday from 07h00 to 17h00.

Our mission is to inspire and enable young people, especially those who need us most.
