The Sozo Foundation

The Sozo Foundation was established in 2011 and has grown to 70 staff members (over 2/3rds from the community of Vrygrond itself). With the vision to see communities transformed through unconditional love, the Sozo Foundation provides education, skills and enterprise development programmes to youth under the age of 35 years old. Our interventions are geared towards addressing high levels of school drop-out, unemployment and limited economic opportunities. We do this through an After School Education Centre (EduCentre) for high school youth and a Skills Development project, while our Social Enterprise provides youth with apprenticeships and work experience.
