Litsemba Centre
The vision for the Litsemba Centre is to provide accommodation and care for youth (boys) who have no homes. A number of youth who are already trained as counselors will be the house parents and support for the boys who are given refuge.

Soccer Camps
The most recent project to take place was a series of psychosocial support camps which were held at 6 schools in the area around Daantjie and Msogwaba, Mpumalanga Province in December 2010.

English Lessons
In order to pass grade 12, youth must write a national exam in English. Many orphans and vulnerable children are unable to pass their final exams because they lack basic English skills necessary to answer the questions.

Life Skills Training
The Litsemba Centre will be offering courses for youth on how to open bank accounts, budget money, look for work, write CVs, care for younger siblings, choose a career, etc.

Bible Studies
As part of the mandate of the Litsemba Centre, a group of local youth will be running bible studies for children, youth and community members.

Teenage Pregnancy Centre
Teenage pregnancy is rampant in South Africa. Young girls as young as 12 years old are falling pregnant due to the many social problems that exist in rural and township communities.

Career Guidance Centre and Computer Centre
The Litsemba Centre will be offering a variety of services to youth in the community, including a career guidance centre.

Counseling Services
Many children and youth are in need of grief and bereavement counseling in this area of South Africa.

Hope Clubs
Hope Clubs are clubs run at local schools in Daantjie, for orphans and vulnerable children. The youth who run the clubs volunteer their time once or twice a week, depending on the school, to train the children soccer skills, provide counseling and run activities and games.

Youth Facilitator Project
There are many orphans and vulnerable children in schools who are not receiving the assistance they need, so Mamkhulu.org decided to place a full-time youth facilitator in 10 schools in Mpumalanga Province in South Africa who care for the orphans and vulnerable children full time.
