Kensington Youth Forum
The problems confronting youth in the Western Cape has reached
critical proportions. The DDP has entered into a partnership agreement
with the Kensington Youth Forum in order to work with youth in the
Kensington-Factorton areas of Cape Town. To date we have been assisting
them formulate clear strategies for engaging the youth as well as
building their capacities to meet this need. The work will lead into
engagement with schools and other youth organizations within the
Western Cape in order to rekindle hope and to create a positive vision
for a better future. Programmes will include civic responsibility,
personal leadership and community based programmes run by the youth
themselves. One of the primary objectives would be to give a voice to
the many youth who feel totally marginalized.
