YOUTH DAY 2026 SOUP DRIVE

This Youth Day, the Youth Empowerment Network (YEN) is committed to serving our community by providing warm soup, bread, and hope to approximately 100 vulnerable children and elderly residents living in the informal settlement near the Bredasdorp Landfill Site.

For many families, a warm meal represents more than nourishment—it is a reminder that their community cares.

As a youth-led non-profit organization, YEN continues to make a positive impact through community development initiatives, youth empowerment programs and partnerships. This Youth Day, we invite you to partner with us in making a meaningful difference.
