Our main interventions

In response to the numerous challenges facing young people, OHO works with youth to develop and empower them in a holistic manner hoping to make an impact on various aspects of their lives. OHO understands the potential of Africa’s youth and have dedicated itself to preserving the African continent’s future by working in support of the youth. Organisation Hands On (OHO) seeks to forge partnerships with governments and private sectors’ programmes to achieve the following interventions:

Drug Education and Prevention Network

Organisation Hands On provides educational materials, advice and coordination for its drug prevention network. It works with youth, parents, educators, volunteer organisations and government agencies – anyone with an interest in helping people lead lives free from drug abuse.

The consensus is clear: Here is a drug education and prevention network that gets results and, most importantly, arm them with a full battery of facts to make their own informed decision to stay drug-free.

Our values

Organisation Hands On envisions, an Africa in which young people and their communities not only enjoy and contribute to their full social, political and economic potential, but also recognize their responsibilities to develop and build a better Africa for all.

Dignity for young people

The inherent worth and dignity of youth. The provision of services should reflect for the worth and dignity of young people. They should be supported to develop their inherent strength and potential.

Youth empowerment

Interventions should empower young people as asserts for national development, raising their confidence so that they can contribute to their own development and that of broader society.

Active and productive

Young people are instruments and agents of their own development and that of broader society. The shaping of young people as active and productive citizens is critical for an increase in economic growth.

Regeneration

The promotion of moral and spiritual regeneration in line with the values of ‘Ubuntu’

Agents of change

Young people should be considered as agents of change, not passive recipients of government services.

Developing strengths

Young people should be supported to develop their inherent strengths and potential.

A message from our founder

OHO understands the potential of South Africa’s youth and have dedicated itself to preserving Africa’s future by working in support of the youth.

The type of marginalisation faced by the youth of today necessitates youth-targeted interventions that will enable young people’s active participation and engagement in both the society and the economy.The marginalization of young people is primarily manifested in high youth unemployment. In a job-scarce environment, joining the world of work is particularly difficult for young people. This is not just a local problem – in 2013 the International Labor Organisation (ILO) estimated that, at a global level 73.4 million young people who want to work and are actively looking for a job cannot find one.

About one of every two young people (52.9%) is unemployed or a discouraged work seeker, and not enrolled at an educational institution _ (ILO 2013)

Young people are major human resource for development, often acting as key agents for social change, economic expansion and innovation. Their imagination, ideas, energy and vision are essential for the continuous development of society.
