Our Story

Motjha Ithole

Founded in September 2020, Motjha Ithole is a youth development organization based in a small town in the Eastern Free State, called Lindley (in the Thabo Mofutsanyana District). Motjha Ithole is an organization founded for youth by youth and is 100% black owned. We render services to youth between ages 15 to 35 years, as defined by the National Youth Policy of South Africa Our slogan, Restructuring for Tomorrow, comes from the belief that we were all born with the essential and right pieces to be all that we can be in life. At the same time, we understand that life may have led us to misplace those pieces, unaware and unintentionally so.

Essentially, all that our youth needs to flourish is already within themselves and all that we as Motjha Ithole do-is help our youth restructure so they can be the best versions of themselves. Motjha Ithole has two focus areas; In School Youth and Out-of-School Youth. The services rendered for both focus areas are designed to ensure that they meet our ultimate goals, which are (1)creating access to decent work and economic growth opportunities for our out- youth, (2) ensuring that our school going youth complete their basic education and most importantly, (3) ensuring that our youth take good care of their mental health.
