Welcome

The Gem Project is formally registered as a Non-Profit Organisation (NPO), a Non-Profit Company (NPC) and a Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) with B-BBEE Level 1 status.

We are a child & youth centred development organisation which aims to bring about meaningful, impactful and sustainable change in the lives of vulnerable children and youth at risk in Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape Province. We offer vulnerable children and youth an enabling environment which assists them in their personal and academic development and empowerment.  We focus on the holistic development of the beneficiary and provide physiological, psycho-social, educational, life skills, vocational and work readiness training.

For the youth beneficiaries, the Gem Project Youth Academy provides them with a 2nd chance to gain meaningful work related education and vocational work readiness skills training which equips them with functional skills to enter the world of work and to become responsible citizens.
