The Nnete Foundation is helping break the poverty cycle through education in a community near to Clarens, where underage drinking and teenage pregnancy are problems among the youth. | LameezOmarjee

In the community of Kgubetswana, the youth face challenges of underage drinking, teenage pregnancy, and many do not further their education beyond high school.

From the outside, you wouldn't know what the Nnete Foundation is about. There is a yard with two containers next to a grey building. It's neat, but hardly inviting. The sign"Nnete Foundation" looks like it's rusting and has cracks in it. Matches goes on to explain that most youths do not think of leaving Clarens after completing school. Some do not even finish matric and leave school after Grade 9. But there are learners who have ambitions to continue studying after matric. The Nnete Foundation is here to help them get there.

Apart from tutoring, the learners also get input on life skills. Some people in the community often come to the foundation on Wednesdays to share more about their professions to inspire the learners to pursue different careers. The second rule is to help one another. If they help each other, it will be easier to remember what they have learnt.

The foundation last year became a custodian of two brickmaking machines that were donated by Kruisvallei Hydro*. The 4MW hydroelectric plant, located on the Ash River, which runs between Clarens and Bethlehem, is one of the bid window 4 projects of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme .
