 Bohlale Youth Club is a non-profit organisation formed by the youth in Kroonstad to inform and educate about the negative implications of crime, using drugs and teenage pregnancy. Most of the organisation’s members were also victims of wrong doings, and thus remain motivated to help youths within their community. HISTORY Bohlale Youth Club was established in 2006 and was registered as a non-profit organisation in the very same year. Since its establishment they have managed to reach approximately 3 000 youths in and around Kroonstad in different schools. Their main objectives are to create awareness about matters that are negatively affecting the youth in Kroonstad and South Africa in general. Since 2006 Bohlale Youth Club has educated many youths about HIV/AIDS, teenage pregnancy and substance abuse and have witnessed a marked decrease, especially in teenage pregnancy, which keeps them motivated to continue. PROGRAMMES
The organisation employs approximately 16 temporary staff members, who do not receive any form of payment due to lack of funds. FUNDERS The organisation does not have any funders. CHALLENGES The organisation’s main challenge is funding. Due to lack of funding, many members leave them. When they started they had about 30 members but currently only have 16. They also face transport challenges, resulting in members having to pay their own transport costs. The organisation is also in need of office space to perform their day-to-day activities.
