FACT: Teens make the most important decisions for their entire future between the ages of 12 and 22.
It’s tough for teens everywhere to make the ‘good’ decisions that are in their long-term interests. Yet, the choices they make can BUILD or BREAK an entire lifetime of opportunities. That’s amplified in communities that are confronting grinding poverty and pervasive violence.
For our teens in South Africa,
decisions can look like this:
Drop out of high school
to find a job and help feed the family?
OR
Stay in school,
in the hope of building a better, long-term future for the family?
Date and enjoy intimate relationships
at the risk of a teen pregnancy?
OR
Forgo intimate relationships to keep dreams on track?
Join a gang and hang out with the cool guys?
OR
Withstand peer-pressure and be branded a nerd?
With few role models of better outcomes, it makes sense for many teens to live in the moment and worry about the rest later.
Your gift today offers an alternative, a course correction, a new path to success, at its most powerful and transformational moment in a teen’s life.
