So, our #adventurefundraising platform not only gives you a chance to do good for others, but yourself too because when you sign up you\u2019re becoming accountable to your supporters and your beneficiary to accomplish what you set out to do. There\u2019s all that pressure spurring you on and people encouraging you not to fail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nwaneri adds: \u201cYour New Year\u2019s resolution may not meet the typical action-packed quest that the word \u2018adventure\u2019 evokes but it is your adventure nonetheless, your journey \u2013 and a voyage that can tick more than just one \u201ctreasure chest\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Afrika Tikkun\u2019s Cradle to Career 360\u00ba model works from the context of family to provide holistic and integrated services to children from birth through to school going age, and into the working world with additional support programmes for struggling families with children of all ages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A few of Afrika Tikkun\u2019s achievements for 2017 include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Servicing a total of 16 000 beneficiaries in five local South African communities<\/li>\n<li>Which can be broken down in to three core programmes \u2013 1,040 in Early Childhood Development (2 \u2013 6 years), 3,640 in Child and Youth Development (7 \u2013 18 years), and 3,013 in Youth Skills Development and Placement (18 \u2013 35 years) \u2013 as well as support programmes<\/li>\n<li>300 grade R learners graduated and were placed in local schools<\/li>\n<li>120 matric learners graduated<\/li>\n<li>1,449 opportunity placements found for school leavers<\/li>\n<li>Over 500 staff received training in different subject aligned disciplines including but not limited to EQ, Legitimate Leadership principles, Mentoring etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>So, make your New Year\u2019s resolutions come true AND make a difference in 2018!<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Decide on an adventure and set a goal<\/li>\n<li>Register your campaign here in just five minutes: www.afrikatikkun.org\/adventure-fundraising<\/li>\n<li>Share your news with friends and family, near and far, with your unique fundraising link<\/li>\n<li>Use the #MyAfrikaTikkun #AdventureFundraisers hashtags when sharing your news on social media and to your network.
