Why Give? Most kids in Kliptown can't afford school. Every KYP member signs a contract: they must attend school every day and work hard. In exchange, KYP takes care of the cost of school fees, uniforms, and supplies for every student who cannot afford them. KYP's tutoring program changes lives. For the past two years, students in the tutoring program have a 100% pass rate for their high school graduation exams. Compare that with an average of 1 out of 3 students passing in the rest of Kliptown. KYP members are now attending university. Before KYP, it was almost impossible for a resident of Kliptown make it to tertiary education. In 2010, KYP is sending off its second class of tertiary students, 4 of whom earned merit-based scholarships. KYP leaders show kids they can do something positive with their lives. The team that leads KYP grew up in Kliptown. Every day, they help kids, provide them with a safe environment, and encourage them to believe in themselves. Most powerfully, the example they set teaches kids in the most real way possible that they can change their world.
