iLaunch - Young Adults Unlocking their Next Chapter

iLAUNCH focuses on helping our young adults take new steps towards full independence. If that means getting educated, learning life skills to move out, or simply get a job, iLaunch helps them to step forward. iLaunch reviews each individual's needs and develops a plan with them. The program offers coaching, tuition and living expenses.

Over the last 5 years iLAUNCH has been able to support many students studying a variety of things from hospitality to music production to civil engineering to medicine - supporting them to take steps towards independence.  

We have seen many get employed and begin life on their own.  iLaunch has also been able to support additional skills training such as security guard training and driving lessons, as well as resources for those just starting out, like household supplies and furniture.  

For 2021 we are excited to be supporting students from Lily of the Valley and Ikhethelo Children's Villages who will be studying a variety of things, from culinary arts to medicine  We have 6 returning students studying the following: design, culinary arts, medicine, engineering, and administration.  COVID has delayed the start of the 2021 school year in South Africa so iLAUNCH is still finalizing the new students who will start this year. We may have up to 4 new students beginning their studies as we await grade 12 results.

Please help us in reaching our goal of $18,000 to get young adults from iKhethelo and Lily of the Valley Orphanages set up with training and education for their future!

Thank you to our donors who make this possible!
