Youth Month 2026

A beautiful day of self-care, encouragement, and empowerment at the YMCA Strandfontein, organized by Merle. The Beauty Class of 2026 spoiled the girls with special beauty treatments, creating a space where they felt valued, loved, and celebrated.
Melanie also shared a short empowerment session, reminding the girls of their worth, purpose, and the power they have to bring about positive change in society.

Empowered girls become confident women who inspire change.

A heartfelt thank you to Merle Alexander for her heart for young people and for creating such a meaningful and memorable experience.

Special thanks to our Beauty Class of 2026 students for sharing their time, talents, and passion to make the day extra special. Your dedication and willingness to serve are truly appreciated.

Special thanks to Yardley for their generous donation of Cocoa Butter Cream towards our women and youth projects. Your support and contribution are greatly appreciated and help us continue making a positive impact in the lives of those we serve.

A heartfelt thank you to the Long March to Freedom facilitators for making this day extra special, educational, and engaging for all ages. Your passion and dedication made history come alive in a way that was easy to understand and enjoyable for everyone.

Educating young minds while creating lasting memories is a gift that inspires generations. 🇿🇦
