Anti-Bullying Campaign

Bullying is a big problem in many schools. It affects learners emotionally, socially, and academically. Some learners become scared, lonely, and lose confidence because of bullying. Rural schools often do not have enough awareness programmes and support services. This campaign helps learners understand bullying and encourage them to treat others with kindness and respect.

The transition into Grades 7, 8, and 9 is a tough time for teenagers. In rural schools, learners face extra challenges like living far apart, having fewer counsellors, and feeling isolated. The Ntodeni Nenungwi Foundation (NNF) is committed to its goal of an anti-bullying campaign in the rural areas to create positive and safe environments where all young people feel valued, respected, and free from fear, allowing them to become the best version of themselves academically, socially, and be able to express their emotions.

National Youth Day

NNF also take opportunity with utilising national holidays such as the National Youth Days to advocate for children"s education as a pathway to ending poverty in the community. In addition, on the youth day we also advocate for self-discovery, empowerment, and leadership development. Engaging keynotes, interactive activities, and reflective sessions will cultivate their sense of personal agency and self-leadership, equipping them with indispensable skills for success.

The foundation also go further to immerse learners in a truly transformative experience at the national youth day. Using our cause, education, we prepare them embark on a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and leadership development. Engaging keynotes, interactive activities, and reflective sessions will cultivate their sense of personal agency and self-leadership, equipping them with indispensable skills for success.

The National World Youth Day event will continue to meet with learners from schools in the district and focused on supporting and equipping future leaders and facilitating collaboration and community. The events offers an opportunity where young people experience expressions of masculinity, uncovering important links between online cultures and real‑world behaviours as speakers highlight evidence‑informed initiatives that expand opportunities for boys through innovative teaching practices, enriched learning environments, and strengthened approaches to health and well-being.

Poverty affects a child’s health, mental health and wellbeing. Many children report missing out on essential items like food, clothes, housing and often friendships because they have no one to turn so often. The impact poverty has on children can last a lifetime. This is despite having parents who love them and trying to do their best. The foundation provides the opportunity to fend off the toll on children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
