South African youth face many obstacles that perpetuate disadvantage. Most township schools produce learners whose academic performance is below grade level. Poor matric results and low awareness of post-school opportunities lead to high numbers of unemployed youth. Most learners in township schools do not receive the skills development opportunities afforded their more privileged counterparts in the suburbs, including computer literacy and extra-mural activities. In addition to the difficulties that living in poverty and receiving a sub-standard education brings, many township youth are infected and/or affected by HIV/AIDS.

Each of Iinkaba yomphakathi Youth's programmes address these obstacles in simple yet effective and measurable ways:

Supplementary tutoring and Homework sessions enable learners to improve their grades

Career guidance broadens learners' awareness of post-school opportunities

Mentoring ensures that learners access these opportunities
