The NYDA Thusano Fund

Facilitating youth development within all sectors of society The Thusano Fund, meaning helping hand, is a National Youth Development Agency initiative aimed at assisting young people or youth organisations with day to day requirements. The NYDA is inundated with requests from youth who need extra funding to settle outstanding school or university fees, students who have been awarded bursaries but require a little extra cash to settle their travel expenses or living expenses or a local sports teams that is in need of equipment. These are young people that are agents of change, making great strides in improving conditions in communities across the country, studying relentlessly towards becoming the next great scientist, engineer or chartered accountant. The NYDA cannot fulfil the requirements of all the young people of South Africa alone and therefore the agency continues to appeal to stakeholders from government of and the private sector to partner with us, for young people. The NYDA has however, made significant impact in the lives of ordinary South Africans. It is evident from each of these stories that in fact young people are doing things for themselves and their communities but also that as the NYDA we are altering the harsh reality faced by so many of our young citizens. SAPD receives a helping hand Yershen Pillay visits Soweto Association for Persons with Disabilities Promise Nhlapho together with the Soweto Association for Persons with Disabilities (SAPD), a Non-Profit Organisation, received specialised educational equipment, practical learning aids and apparatus suitable for people with disabilities through the NYDA Thusano Fund SAPD is aimed at equipping local youth with disabilities with practical skills to enable them to achieve their full potential and be integrated into mainstream I have a matric certificate unlike many of my peers here at SAPD but despite this I had no practical skills or experience so I started attending classes at SAPD. I have since gotten a job and earn R450 a week which might seem like a little but at least I am independent. For someone that comes from an informal settlement like me, I appreciate this income because I can buy food and clothes. I still come to SAPD twice a week where we do needlework and beading, I also try and assist them here to teach the other young people who are not as advanced as I am.

Vilane Nonjabulo Setsabile · 8 years ago

Hi there, I had enrolled at the University of KwaZulu Natal in 2014 to study towards an industrial or clinical psychology degree with the registration money my father had raised. It was difficult because I could only afford one prescribed book for that year and I was living in an unhealthy environment and renting because I couldn't afford to travel from home to varsity every day. But you know what, that year was the best year of my life. My dream of going to varsity had come true! So I worked really hard to pass all my year modules from learning using only lecture notes and that one prescribed psych book... But towards the end of the year, reality was starting to set in. I did not have funding to further my studies and after NSFAS didn't approve my application, I had no choice but to drop out.. My mom and dad are both unemployed and going through a lengthy divorce and I feel like I have no direction in life.. All my dreams and hopes and plans had vanished. It's been 2years since I dropped out and I feel like my life is going nowhere. I am determined to go back and finish what I started because I know me.. I'm not a quitter. So I'm reaching out...please help me pay for my outstanding fees of R27000 so I can go back to varsity and complete my degree. All I ever wanted to do was better my living standards and make my parents proud.

Hi. I am a third year student at UKZN Westville. for the past two years I've had a scholarship from the university which only settled half my fees. I applied for a programme which lets you register, although you owe fees, but you must pay the fees on that year. I am, however unable to settle these fees. I have NSFAS for this year but I require funding to settle my outstanding fees or I will be excluded from the university. Please help. I owe R27405

Hi my name is Mbhekeni Cele i'm a 23yr old who is passionate about his studies coming from a disadvantage community in a small family of eight, both my parent are unemployed, so we depend on the pension that my father receives at the end of the month.i received a message stating that i was invited to attend government bursary holders and student financial education workshop on 07October 2014 at bhekuzulu hall. the reason why i made it to the university is through my matric result, i got a bachelor certificate and i was rewarded money to register at the municipality where i live. when i made it to university i was told to appeal for financial aid and i did and i never found financial aid for two consercative year well, on the second year i registered for the RAC programme for returning students but when i came back on the following year i colud not register because i was owing the university R50 000 for these two year plus interest because i have no way other to pay for my tutuition because at home no one is working. the problem now is that i can't register mind u this year i found finacial aid which is ANFSAS also found DSD but the problem was they couldn't pay outstanding fees they only can pay for current year so yet again my right to study was denied and told to go find the money of which i do not have neither do my parents. so i wrote this letter plea to you thusanofund, you are my only hope to get back to school and be proud and prosper my degree in social work next year 2015 and i believe that i have a right to access education therefor it your responsibility as the youth empowering government officials to let the youth or show them the way forward that education is power,and i know this not enough but i am out of words because i have been travelling with my mother while she was still recovering from her surgery. it even difficult for me because i have tasted how to learn at a high institution like UKZN howard college, education is the key to success and i want to be part of that success, education should be given to those who it the most for the bright future of our fellow youth out there who are disadvantaged like my self and i will be grateful of any assistant that i can get. regards Mbhekeni Cele

Dear Vuyokazi, You need to contact the NYDA Thusano Fund directly on their site http://www.nyda.gov.za/chairperson/Pages/Thusano-Fund.aspx

I have read the testimonies of beneficiaries of the Thusano fund, more particularly those who were rescued from outstanding debts from Universities. I am one of the victims who owe the University 15 469,46. i have completed my LLB in 2013 but unfortunately I did not get my degree on graduation due to the outstanding balance i owe the university of Fort Hare. I tried exploring all different avenues to clear my debt, but all I could come up with was finding out that my name will be listed at credit beauror if its not there already. I wanted to ask if can you help me clear my outstanding balance because I cannot even get a job now. I hope this will reach your favorable considerations. Thank you.
