UPENDI EDUCATION
Every individual deserves to have access to quality education and life skills opportunities. In South Africa’s impoverished communities, many children and adolescents become lost in an education system that is stretched beyond capacity. And, with education being one of life’s key building blocks, those lost simply remain trapped in a continuous cycle of poverty and hopelessness.
In everyday life, the development of life skills helps individuals to find new ways of thinking and problem solving. Recognise the impact of their actions and teaches them to take responsibility for what they do rather than blame others. Build confidence both in spoken skills and for group collaboration and cooperation. The Upendi Foundation will offer education and life skills programs that ensure all individuals have the opportunity to improve themselves.
“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” - Malcolm X

MENTORING AND LIFE COACHING
Life coaching is a non-directive, collaborative conversation between coach and coachee that can enable profound change through choices, questions, reflections and new behaviours. As part of this process, clients are empowered to make courageous decisions about their life, work, relationships, and more.
The key thing here is that the coach helps to empower the client in making these decisions for themselves. There is no guidance from the coach, and it is precisely this element of the life coaching dynamic that makes the impact and change often so profound for the coachee.
