Help Phakamani Young Minds Academy by donated professional clothing for the youth in our programme for interviews
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
At Phakamani Young Minds Academy (PYMA), we believe that confidence and opportunity go hand in hand. Many of the young people in our programme come from under-resourced communities where access to professional clothing is limited. As they prepare to enter the world of work through interviews, job-shadowing opportunities and internships, their first impression often plays a vital role in shaping how they are perceived by potential employers. We are therefore seeking donations of professional clothing such as blazers, shirts, skirts, trousers, shoes, ties and other formal wear to help our learners look and feel their best during these important moments. The goal is not just to provide them with clothes but to empower them with confidence and a sense of dignity as they take their first steps into professional spaces.

Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
