**Southern Africa Youth Project shines a light on kids’ social emotional issues using puppets

At 28-years-old, Neftaly Malatjie is a new face in the SA Youth Project team. But what sets him apart from the rest? Well, for starters, he's a trained accountant and former McKinsey consultant. What's more, he hails from KwaZulu Natal - one of the most impoverished provinces in South Africa - and has big dreams to change his state's fortunes. In just 6 months since joining the project team, Neftaly has already made a huge impact - taking on roles such as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer to run operations for the project. He oversees everything from finances to marketing - and his dedication is not unnoticed by SACYP leaders. He is one of us now - standing shoulder-to-shoulder with other young people transforming their communities through youth engagement! It's very common for young smart professionals to be overworked and burnt out by the time they hit the big 5-0. Not so for Neftaly Malatjie. When he turned 40, he decided it was time to change his work habits and approach. So began a journey of self-improvement that has led him to becoming CEO of Southern Africa Youth Project, an award-winning non-profit organization committed to teaching kids and young adults skills that will enable them to stand on their own financially and make their mark in the world. As a humanitarian, Neftaly understands that our ability to thrive as a community is linked directly to the success of our youth - those who will become leaders in government, business, and society. He is dedicated to preparing South Africa's next generation of leaders in ways that will not only help them succeed in life today but also empower them for tomorrow. Neftaly Malatjie is the Chief Executive Officer of Southern Africa Youth Project. He holds a Master's degree in Development Studies from the University of Cape Town, South Africa and has years of experience working in development. Now, he uses his knowledge to help underprivileged youth thrive. Naftaly believes that every individual has the potential to change the world for the better and inspire others with their ideas. That's why he works tirelessly to empower young people to take charge and make positive changes in their communities. Through programs like Southern Africa Youth Project, Neftaly hopes to create a more inclusive society where everyone can achieve their goals. It is said that we shape our own lives depending on who we are and what we do. For Neftaly Malatjie, the saying holds true. After working for years in corporate America, he returned to his home country of South Africa last year with a vision - to create an organization that would help shape the future of South Africa's youth. And it is already shaping up to be an inspiring one. Today, he runs Southern Africa Youth Project, a non-profit organization that provides young people with opportunities and resources necessary to succeed in life. From mentorship and job training programs to entrepreneurship classes and social media skills development workshops, Neftaly is committed to helping young South Africans realize their full potential. #InspiringChange Southern Africa Youth Project is a global movement that aims to empower youth and create change in the communities they reside in. Over the years, we have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into programs that aim to make a difference through education and employment. We are proud to say that Neftaly is part of this global movement that works tirelessly to make an impact on society. We look forward to collaborating with him on even more initiatives in the future!
