Viwe Bonga, South Africa

My name is Viwe Bonga an enthusiastic 28 year old male with so much devotion for community development and Youth empowerment. I matriculated in 2014 and after that been busy with leadership programs and community development programs for which one of them I co founded and currently assume a position of a managing director. As mentioned, right after Matric I came back to the school I matriculated in as a head coach for the school's debate team, 3 years later started a Tutoring and mentorship program, which still exists to this day with Atleast over 250 beneficiaries for this year.

The program is a non-profit community based program that was founded by Young people around the Phillipi catchment area. The program provides intensive academic tutoring and personal development sessions to motivated grade 8 and 9 high school learners at under-resourced schools in the Phillipi catchment area. The overall aim of the programme is to provide a solid academic foundation and develop life skills and resilience in the general education and training(GET) phase to prepare learners for success in senior high school and beyond.
