The Reality on the Ground

Current Social Situation

Across Phalaborwa, Namakgale, Lulekani, Mashishimale and surrounding communities, economic exclusion continues to limit opportunity for thousands of families.

1 in 2 young people in Phalaborwa is unemployed

Youth unemployment exceeds 50%, leaving thousands of young people without access to sustainable income opportunities, vocational training, or entrepreneurial support.

Families live below the poverty line

Many households depend on a single income earner, social grants, or irregular work. Limited access to practical skills training continues to contribute to poverty and economic exclusion.
