In the third episode of Ekoneni: Street Corner Stories, we meet Joy Olivier, Co-founder and Director of IkamvaYouth - a Cape Town organisation tackling poverty through education, one youth at a time. Ikamva means 'future' in Xhosa, and Joy and co-founder Makhosi Gogwana started IkamvaYouth in 2003 when they decided to volunteer as tutors at Makhosi's high school in Khayelitsha. Since then, IkamvaYouth has grown to an organisation spanning 60 branches in five South African provinces, helping almost 2,000 learners per year to graduate high school and prepare for tertiary education. South African youth face many obstacles that perpetuate disadvantage. Most township schools produce learners whose academic performance is below grade level. Poor matric results and low awareness of tertiary opportunities lead to high numbers of unemployed youth (estimated at over 60% in Khayelitsha, and over 50% across the country). Joy is dedicated to redressing inequality and injustice in South Africa through promoting equal access to quality education and opportunities.
