Programme Description
In order to provide services and interventions that support young people from Cradle to Career, Afrika Tikkun has three core programmes along with a suite of support programmes which are offered at each community centre. These programmes are designed to focus on the specific developmental and age-appropriate needs of young people.
Our core programmes
1. Early Childhood Development: Focussed on the achievement of age appropriate developmental and school readiness milestones for children aged 2 to 6 years.

3. Career Development Programme: Provides career guidance, job readiness training, specialised training (Retail, Hospitality, and ITC), job placement and bursaries for further learning. This is targeted at young people with a matric or equivalent between the ages of 19-29years.

4. Primary Health Care: Providing basic healthcare services to young people and their families
5. Family Support: Providing Psychological and family support services to address the young person’s needs within the context of their family circumstances.
