SCDC BACK GROUND
Sakhile Community Development Centre (SCDC) was formally registered as a non-profit organization with the National Department of Social Development we are based in Nquthu (too poor and rural area of Kwa-Ngedla) with the main aim of youth empowerment initiatives in youth skills development, combating poverty, reducing unemployment and creating jobs that the Hon President Zuma in his State of the Nation address 2011/12 outlined; where he made a call for all South Africans to wake up and do something, so we as youth and community of Nquthu are responding to His Excellency’s call by furthering the objectives of this organization which focuses mainly in youth skills development.
SCDC ACHIEVEMENTS
1. The KZN Department of Social
Development have initially supported us with a donation of just above R200 000 to kick start our projects of uplifting the youth skills which is very desperate in a very too rural area of Nquthu and they are now deeply engaged in drugs, alcohol and involved in serious criminal activities that are not societal acceptable which lead among other things high rate of teenage pregnancies.

persons, this youth is currently at Mthashana FET College studying various courses that will change their lives for better;

interviews the Old Mutual Group sponsored us with their Financial Literacy and other progressive training
on our youth; certificates issued by BankSETA were received by attendees.
6. We organized a massive and successful SCDC Nquthu Career Exhibition on 15 September 2012, which was attended by so many corporate and government departments.
I want to thank Transnet NPA Durban, KZN Office of the Premier, KZN Dept of
Agriculture and Environmental Affairs, for making our Career Expo happen, without you, this could have not happened

courses; some of our sewing students have since opened their own small business of sewing and generating income for them and their families.
9. In 2013 we finished building the new state of the art Early Child
Development (ECD) Centre in our community, whole building budget contributed directly from community members' pocket; we didn't wait for Government but the Government must meet us on our way towards our rural development initiatives. The ECD is fully operational since January 2014 with two teachers.
