Being a young person

in South Africa

can't always be easy

Growing up is a journey often burdened with the effects of a seemingly unrelenting HIV/TB epidemic and educational systems are still recovering from previous inequalities. Not to mention issues of poverty and unemployment...

Young people

are one of our most

valued assets.

Their voices provide crucial insights and solutions to current challenges. Engaging them in decision-making fosters inclusivity and collective responsibility. Investing in their development is vital for a thriving society and a sustainable future.

Young people can

initiate change

By providing young people with a platform, young people possess the power to instigate change, and this potential can be unleashed by offering them a platform. This platform enables them to voice their experiences and address their concerns.

We are proud when we see how

BRAVE and INSPIRING

"Surround yourself with people Who appreciate your dreams."

- NNEILE NKHOLISE -

Look beyond the hard times to the vision you are trying to achieve. In the end, mistakes are just a part of the learning process. Everything that happens makes you wiser and if I hadn't made mistakes, I would not have learned as much as I did.

"Educationis the great engine of personal development."

- Nelson Mandela -

Growing up is a journey often burdened with the effects of a seemingly unrelenting HIV/TB epidemic and educational systems still recovering from previous inequalities. Not to mention issues of poverty, unemployment, and gender-based violence.

The Answer is EDUCATION !

“Education is the cornerstone of progress, the key to unlocking limitless potential. It transcends boundaries, empowers minds, and transforms lives. With knowledge comes the power to innovate, to solve complex problems, and to shape a much brighter future for all. At OneVoice South Africa, we believe in the transformative power of education. Whether it’s mastering new skills, pursuing passions, or fostering critical thinking, education opens doors to endless opportunities. Join us in our mission to inspire, educate, and empower individuals to reach their full potential and make a positive impact on the world.”

At the heart of our mission lies the recognition of a pervasive issue: the lack of equal access to quality education. We acknowledge the profound implications this barrier holds for young people’s development.

OVSA has a priority focus on girls and women, as we believe that girls and women who have equal access to quality education are more confident and can pursue greater economic opportunities, which benefits their families and communities, reduces gender inequality, and helps create societies that are healthier, better educated, and more equal and foster broader social and economic growth.

Our STORIES !

Happy In School

The HAPPYINSCHOOL Project is OVSA’s anthem of positivity and a social development project that culminated with an exhibition at the KZNSA Art Gallery in Glenwood in 2015. The project is based on the global phenomenon that saw people from around the world re-creating the song to make it their own. OVSA’s ‘happy’ song was created to turn the tables on the frequently held view that being at school can be a challenging and gloomy, experience. OVSA contends that many learners and educators have also found moments of HAPPINESS in schools and that HAPPINESS matters!
