Trevor Noah, SA comedian and the host of “The Daily Show”, has decided to give back to those in need in his home country. Noah donated R8 million to a local project on behalf of The Trevor Noah Foundation and in partnership with YouthBuild South Africa (YBSA).
YBSA helps young adults between the ages of 17 and 29 who are Not in Education, Employment or Traning (NEET) to improve their lives and communities.
This is a joint venture in response to the pressing issues surrounding impoverished communities throughout the country.
The Faranani infrastructure project was created by both The Trevor Noah Foundation and YBSA to enhance the educational foundation in schools across the country. Based in Soweto, young people will receive training, practical construction skills and the mindset to transform an educational environment.
The goal is to address school infrastructure needs while supporting and developing the skills of unemployed youth.
“Today’s kids are told to be the leaders of tomorrow, but they’re not given the tools. I’m excited about this partnership with YouthBuild because we’re creating life-changing opportunities for South African youth. We all deserve to achieve our fullest potential no matter where we come from,” said Trevor.
