About the Project

The NYF Eastridge Centre is to be developed on a vacant which has been donated to the nyfasa waqf, for the purpose of establishing a madrassah. However, based on our exploration of the area and neighborhood, as well as engaging with the residents and local community leaders and organizations within the area, it was determined that due to The high levels of unemployment and prevalent social ills, that the Proposed NYF Eastridge Centre will also include a soup kitchen on the property, which will form part of the madrasah, to feed people in need regardless of their circumstances. In addition to the madrasah and soup kitchen, the NYF Eastridge Centre will also housea resident scholar/teacher, who will Manage the operations of the centre, as well as safeguarding the property and its asset

The Neo Youth Foundation's Eastridge Centre will be of immense benefit to the community of Eastridge.

The Madrasah

We envisage that, through the holistic islamic education-Al programs and life-skills approach, children and youth will be better equipped and empowered to access and seize the opportunities available to the minor der to improve themselves. With that, families will be strengthened as parents will be part of learnings and programs as a means of assisting them to play an important role in the improved development and wellness of their children and themselves. Our children and youth will develop hard and soft skills, knowledge, and important social aspects which they require to thrive in the 21st-century and be a benefit to their community

Therefore we are appealing to you for financial assistance in this project, by assisting us you are assisting communities, touching hearts and changing lives.

Soup Kitchen

With the establishment of the soup kitchen, warm healthy and nutritious meals will be providedatno cost to the community, but mostly the vulnerable of the community; children, youth and the elderly. Thus improving their quality of life and restoring their dignity. The soup kitchen will be sustained through collaboration and establishing partnership with and committed and compassionate volunteers, as well as by the generous contributions of donors, that will ensure the community’s needs are taken care of.

The centre will strive to better the lives of many. However, in order for us to bring our intentions to reality it will cost us R800,000 to get the centre up.
