Southern Africa Youth Project Headquarters, 24–26 June 2025
The SayPro Capacity Building Training for NPOs Programme, held from 24 to 26 June 2025, opened with a warm and heartfelt message from SayPro CEO and leader of Development, Neftaly Malatjie, who greeted participants from across Southern Africa with a simple yet powerful statement:
“I am glad that you are here.”
Speaking at the Southern Africa Youth Project headquarters, Malatjie acknowledged the commitment and sacrifices made by nonprofit leaders to attend the three-day training programme, emphasizing the importance of their presence as a step toward growth, learning, and transformation.
“Your being here shows that you care deeply about the work you do and the communities you serve,” he said. “This space is for you—to learn, to reflect, to challenge yourself, and to go back stronger than when you arrived.”
The training focused on equipping NPOs with practical tools and leadership strategies through sessions on:
- Governance and compliance
- Project planning and delivery
- Financial management and donor engagement
- Monitoring, evaluation, and impact reporting
- Personal and spiritual leadership for sustainability
Malatjie’s welcoming words set the tone for an inspiring and productive programme. Participants described the atmosphere as open, empowering, and filled with purpose.
One attendee shared, “Hearing those words from Mr. Malatjie reminded us that we belong here—that we are seen, valued, and supported as changemakers.”
As SayPro continues to build capacity in the nonprofit sector, its leadership remains grounded in empathy, excellence, and the belief that meaningful change begins with empowering those on the frontlines.
