Emseni Community Project

Enriching lives one step at a time 

ABOUT
Emseni Community Project was established in October 1997, after an extensive research at the University of Copenhagen on Comparative Studies by the founder Dr Thandi Legwale, with the intent to improve the lives of the underprivileged people in Soweto through skills development training. High unemployment, lack of skills, illiteracy, and low self-esteem are some of the challenges that we have observed within the community. We always strive for excellence in skills training and education, as this is our core function. We have built a reading and writing clinic to compare learning barriers and improve learning environments as well as created short courses (Strategies and Methodologies, Hospitality and Project Design) that are SACE (15 points) endorsed and SETA (Nqf level 5) accredited. Our desire for all the learners we train is self-sustenance. We are a registered non-profit organization providing educational services through various learning and skills programs. The scope of our focus is in marginalized and previously disadvantaged societies in South Africa.

Our focus with this program is to make each learner a success in all aspects of their schooling career.
