While the sale and consumption of alcohol is legal in most parts of South Africa, it has turned out to be a major cause for concern as more and more people are arrested for crime due to it.

Diepsloot Youth Project is working hard to curb this menace by making the youth aware of their responsibilities while also teaching them various life skills that can help them lead a crime-free life. And with their impressive efforts, we hope to see the criminal rate come down soon!

In a country where alcoholism is considered as a disease and youth are labeled as troubled, it is strange to see such an instance of these two being linked together. However, that’s the reality in South Africa and Diepsloot Youth Project wants to change it. The program makes its learners aware of their surroundings and the consequences of alcohol abuse by example.

The youth of today are increasingly exposed to Alcohol abuse and crime is the inevitable result. This has become so prevalent in our society that it has been termed as a ‘mini-hit’. The reason for this is simple: alcohol is being consumed in large quantities and has become an integral part of social gatherings, parties, and get-togethers. And, due to lack of proper law and order, youth have started taking this tendency to new heights by indulging in petty crimes such as theft etc.

This project aims at bringing about a change by engaging the youth of Diepsloot and educating them about the devastating effects of alcoholism. Not only will they be taught life skills but also how to curb such harmful tendencies from their younger siblings or friends.

Many people associate substance abuse with crime, but not many know that crimes like alcohol-related crimes are on the rise.

The youth of today are more aware about the negative effects of substance abuse and its association with crimes. They don’t mind sharing their personal experiences and opinions on why it’s important to abstain from these substances. In fact, they want to take preventive measures before committing a crime.

But where do you go for help when you need it? Try Diepsloot Youth Project! Join us in our mission to create lasting change by providing a safe space for youth to share their experiences, ask questions, and find resources that can help them deal with substance abuse and other related issues. We believe that every youth deserves access to quality information and programs that can ultimately improve their lives.

In 2015, the Youth Project in Diepsloot has taken a toll on the city. Out of 150 children, 101 are involved in criminal activity. Fifty-six of these children are accused of committing crimes such as theft and assault.

The Youth Project provides a safe haven for these children to live by instilling values of discipline, hard work, and honesty. The mothers and fathers who run the Youth Project say that they are proud of what their children stand for and how far they have come.
