Chairman’s Report
AFRIKA T 1 IKKUN ANNUAL REVIEW 13/14
Building a better
world with Barclays
Citizenship is a vital component of
Barclay’s overall ethos in becoming the
go-to bank on the continent. Community
investment and, more particularly, how
we remain relevant to the communities
in which we operate, is a key pillar of our
citizenship-agenda.
Our community investment team
focuses on projects that develop the financial-, enterprise development-,
and numeracy and literacy skills of disadvantaged youths between 10
and 35 years – increasing their chances of employment. We have a strong
preference for initiatives that are innovative, use different channels to
increase their reach, and collaborate to evolve with best practice, thereby
increasing their impact. We particularly look for programmes that
address both supply and demand, linking an initiative to an opportunity.
We are very excited to commit to two projects with Afrika Tikkun in
2014, as both showcase best practice and innovation. The Afrika Tikkun
Employability Project not only provides excellent training, but also
has the right networks to ensure job placements for at least 50% of
participants. Likewise, the Step-Up-2-a-Start-Up enterprise development
project, that includes the best of international and local thinking, reaches
15,000 youths through movie theatres.
As a financial services organisation, this focus enables us to allocate
significant business resources in support of these programmes, as well as
mobilise colleagues through volunteering. We hope that these efforts will
make a true difference in building a better world for South Africa’s youth.

AFRIKA TIKKUN (NPC) – CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 2
New initiatives
changing lives
The issue of growing youth unemployment is
increasingly recognized as one of the most
disturbing economic and social issues facing
the country.
One in two youth under the age of 25
is unemployed, and most unemployed
young people don’t have the knowledge
or resources to generate a sustainable income.
The repercussions affect the stability of the country’s future, whilst draining
social funding. The remedy does not lie in quick-fix training programs, applied
in isolation by individual corporate organisations. Intervention is required early
on in a child’s development, particularly where children have few role models of
sustained permanent employment.
In light of these facts, Afrika Tikkun Services (Pty) Limited was established as
a separate entity to the developmental activities of the non-profit entity to
provide job readiness-training and consulting services, with the support of
a handful of key companies who saw economic value in the project – from a
BBBEE perspective as well as the potential of new employees from the pool of
applicants developed and screened by Afrika Tikkun Services (Pty) Limited.
The results achieved in the first year of operations were in line with expectations,
and the newly appointed team under the management of Errol Pillay are to be
complimented for establishing a solid foundation in this complex, but promising,
business sector.
The MaAfrika Tikkun Endowment Trust was fortunate to see an improvement in
the value of its equity holdings, and the trustees extend genuine appreciation to
those corporations, particularly the Redefine Group, who saw value in retaining
and growing our participation in their equity structures. MaAfrika Tikkun
Endowment Trust is a well-suited BBBEE partner capable of delivering tangible
SED, job training, and placement- and advisory services to equity partners who
recognize our integrated approach.

Chairman’s Report
3 AFRIKA TIKKUN (NPC) – CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Whilst numerous other NGO’s were forced to close their doors due to
funding constraints, Afrika Tikkun was able to meet and slightly exceed
its budget – but only just, and all indications are that the next few years
will prove to be most challenging. The board has therefore continued
to plan conservatively, and cash flow and cash management remains
a priority. The achievements of the organisation were remarkable,
considering the effects of retrenchment and cut-backs of certain
activities. But sound and firm business practises, combined with an
authentic care for the beneficiaries, ensured that the organisation
maintained its prized standing within communities.
Whilst we are, I believe, justifiably proud of what we’re achieving, it
is difficult to budget ahead because of the uncertainty of finances.
Therefore, in particular, if we had government to not only applaud us,
which they do, but to jointly participate with us in our programmes, the
outcome can be dramatically improved. Not only could we then deploy
increased capital, but know that we have an assured stream of money
without living with the uncertainty and fear that we may have to reduce
our programmes and put children back on the streets. We also hope that
our donors support us in our desire to work with government, because
there is a tangible need in our country and we need to employ our
resources into joint programmes that may boost this economy.
I would like to extend my appreciation to my fellow board colleagues
who genuinely contribute not only to governance in terms of ensuring
adequate controls, but add value through contributing their wealth of
personal and professional knowledge to the business of developing
children and youth into the mainstream South African economy. In so
doing, they empower local communities to empower themselves –
ultimately the most effective way of ensuring sustainability.
I wish the executive team and all of the Tikkun family, allied organisations,
government participants and partners great success as we embark
on this motivated new course of creating employable resources so
desperately needed in this wonderful country of ours.

Afrika Tikkun – FROM CRADLE TO CAREER 4

AFRIKA TIKKUN (NPC) – CEO REPORT 6
Changing lives:
From cradle to career
The strategic alliances of Afrika Tikkun address the demand for
corporates, foundations, private individuals and government
departments to develop children from disadvantaged
backgrounds into jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities.
The association provides for the development of infants
through to the end of their schooling through Afrika Tikkun
(NPC) operating from community centres in townships across
South Africa.
However these development efforts were not enough to ensure employment for township
youth. Afrika Tikkun (Pty) Limited (ATS) was formed, an Enterprise Development, training and
placement company with the vision to secure employment and break the cycle of poverty.
Each company is governed by separate boards and managed by
independent executive management as each has a separate but
aligned set of objectives.
Afrika Tikkun takes a holistic approach to the development of children and youth who seek
to address their educational, psychosocial, health and economic needs. In order to provide
services and interventions that support them from cradle to career, Afrika Tikkun has three
core programmes, each focused on specific developmental and age-appropriate needs:
1. Early Childhood Development (ECD) provides home-based together with centre-based
support for children up to 6 years of age, and development services for those aged 2-6,
getting them school-ready.
2. Child and Youth Development (CYD) provides sports, arts and culture, learning,
homework support, and life-skills intervention for specific age groups of 7-9 years, 10-13
years, 14-16 years and 17-18 years. The key outcome is a higher matric pass rate, whilst
also providing career information and further learning opportunities.
3. Skills and Enterprise Development (SED) which are offered from an alliance with ATS, a
separate legal entity provides career guidance, job readiness-training, entrepreneurial
training, job placement and bursaries for further learning. It targets young adults
aged 19-35, with a matric or equivalent. The key outcome is to equip young people
with skills to navigate the labour market and find sustainable employment or create
new enterprises.

7 AFRIKA TIKKUN (NPC) – CEO REPORT
While the latter programmes are designed to build on skills acquired in the previous
levels, each programme also offers specific educational- and developmental
outcomes in its own right. As such, participants can enter, exit, and re-enter the
programmes at any point.
In line with Afrika Tikkun’s holistic approach to child and youth development, the
programmes also offer support services including primary health care services,
nutritional and food security services; and family support services for children,
youth and their families on a case-by-case
basis.

AFRIKA TIKKUN (NPC) – CEO REPORT 8
New initiatives
and tangible results
Year upon year, Afrika Tikkun strives to improve its service offering and refine its practices
in order to offer the maximum possible value for all beneficiaries and partners in the long run.
This year, some exciting new initiatives have already shown great
promise, building on our already-solid foundation:
A new era
This past year, Afrika Tikkun embarked on a strategy to improve the effectiveness of the centre
based-programmes, and orienting the child- and youth development programmes towards the
ultimate goal of creating employable individuals who would be introduced to job opportunities.
Improved library support services and computer-based learning replaced some of the
recreational activities that were considered less important in the career development-process.
We will continue to refine these programmes as we work with major players in the
development of career readiness programmes. The ultimate plan is to ensure that Afrika
Tikkun is regarded as a leading provider of competent first-time job seekers and potential
graduates of university programmes.
Emphasis is being placed on exceptional matric results, requiring many years of pre-matric
preparation in both life skills and academic support. We will achieve this by integrating the
specialised services of other complementary organisations.
The reorientation of our services requires constant monitoring and evaluation as a standard
in our daily processes. As such, a more advanced evaluation system will be implemented this
year. By having access to this impact data and statistical reports, we will be able to constantly
analyse the effect of our work.
The plan for the year ahead is to grow the number of youth graduating from the Afrika Tikkun
centres so that they become eligible for placement by ATS and other placement organisations.
Special thanks
This past year, operating costs at Afrika Tikkun sites were kept below budget at R44,957,255,
whilst organisational overheads including marketing, fundraising and financial administration
amounted to a further R9,208,272. The R54,225,118 income received therefore covered the
total costs of R54,165,527, with operating overheads representing 83% of the total income.

9 AFRIKA TIKKUN ANNUAL REVIEW 13/14
My sincere thanks to everyone who helped make this possible.
May we continue to forge ahead, building on our blessed
success, in the years to come.
• Afrika Tikkun continues to invest in the competencies of its staff at all levels.
This differentiates the organisation from many others, as on-going training
ensures that the organisation operates at optimal efficiency. It is most
encouraging to see the development of managerial teams who competently
bring their own creativity and enthusiasm to specific operational areas. Our
culture of encouraging individuals to direct their enthusiasm into tangible and
measurable outcomes is one of the reasons we are able to attract and retain the
staff that we do. I would like to thank the family of 578 staff members who bring
meaningful change to so many young lives every day.
• I would also like to pay tribute to the many professional specialist organisations
ensuring that we are well-guided in our efforts.
• In thanking our various supporters who ensured that the organisation was
funded with R54 million, I also acknowledge the work of the development
team championed by Onyi Nwaneri. Onyi not only goes in search of funds, but
together with our esteemed Executive Deputy Chairman Herby Rosenberg,
ensures we co-opt contributors as family, friends and indeed partners.
• Leonie van Tonder, an outstanding manager of both people and systems, took
over the role of organisational COO in January. She successfully implemented
an organisational behavioural realignment-plan for leadership, driven by value-defined
principles, and her impact has been immediate and most effective.
• My thanks to the indefatigable Arnold Forman, whose attention to detail
and strict control gives us the security of operating from a place of financial
knowledge, while stakeholders have a very practical understanding of
our performance.
• My gratitude to chairman Bertie Lubner, the most responsible yet passionate
human being I know, to our boards of directors and trustees who have
supported this pioneering and ambitious vision, and to all who have encouraged
us in whatever form to build a world of better prospects for us all.

A well-oiled machine
To ensure the proper functioning of an operation the size of Afrika Tikkun,
several systems are in place to closely monitor all activities:
Afrika Tikkun is governed by a board of directors and managed by a
CEO who is an ex-officio of the board. The board meets quarterly,
with an annual general meeting and report of the annual audited
financials. The members are professionals with degrees in the fields of
accountancy, law, business administration and other masters degrees.
The Executive Management Committee (EXCO), which includes departmental
and programme heads, is made up of professionals from different backgrounds, including law, human rights,
finance and the fields of child- and youth care. This team meets bi-weekly to provide managerial direction
and risk assessment, and to ensure cost-efficiency the best possible programme delivery.
As an organisation, we continuously develop new systems that analyse and oversee risk, quality,
procurement, finances, human resources and information management to ensure proper management
and delivery of projects. All our systems are guided by the following policies: Human Resources Policy,
HIV Policy, Financial Policy, ICT Policy, Child Protection Policy, and others.
Monitoring and evaluation (M&E)
The broad M&E components of our programme are based on a theory of change, which has been tested
and approved across the organisation. Some of the monitoring tools that we currently use include:
• Soweto Care System: Database software designed to facilitate the client administration of NGOs;
focusing on home-based care, orphans and vulnerable children, and voluntary counselling and
testing. Clients, employees, home-visits, client needs and programmes can be entered and updated
in the system, after which comprehensive reports for management and partners are generated, and
these reports can be accessed at any time.
• Implementation- and log frame-plans: An annual strategic log frame lists all the objectives, activities,
targets, indicators and means of verification. Log frames are reviewed quarterly with programme
staff and in monthly supervisory sessions with programme managers.
• Weekly/monthly narrative reports: Weekly highlights, current success stories and monthly narrative
reports discuss impact, challenges and targets.
• Management/financial reports: Monthly management reports are prepared per site, per programme
(comparing actual costs and budgeted costs/beneficiaries). The budget is prepared in conjunction
with the implementation- and log frame-plans.

AFRIKA TIKKUN ANNUAL REVIEW 13/14 16

17 AFRIKA TIKKUN (NPC) – A NOTE FROM THE COO
Happy staff, happy families
This past year, an intensive focus on staff members has already shown great
results. The year kicked off with a coaching programme for general managers,
which immediately resulted in a remarkable improvement in their respective
handling of tasks. A staff satisfaction survey was then conducted, which
highlighted three main concerns. These were unfairness in the workplace, lack
of communication up and down the line, and security concerns.
All these matters were addressed with practical solutions. Communication forums
were created to immediately address staff concerns in each of the Afrika Tikkun
centres, while only matters that the general managers cannot handle are referred up the line. To date, all issues
have been promptly dealt with, and resolved. Security changes were made where possible in the areas around
our centres in order to accommodate the staff.
The philosophy of Care and Growth, an extraordinary approach to principled leadership, was rolled out to
staff – starting with the executive management committee. The aim is to focus leadership on their role,
and those of others, to establish a basis for legitimate leadership – a leadership style where integrity and
trustworthiness are the main drivers to ensure a trustworthy and enthusiastic team. Twenty staff members
from the Early Childhood Development Centres completed the NQF4-training course, and four staff members
received NQF5 training. All teachers are now NQF4-graded, or higher qualified.
In the Child and Youth Programme, 52 of our facilitators also qualified as child- and youth workers on an NQF4-
level. The staff members’ tireless work had tangible effects in beneficiaries’ lives. We cared for an average of
1,152 children per day throughout the year in the Early Childhood Development Centres.
In the Child and Youth-programme, an average of 5,413 children received daily after-school care, and care
during school holidays. The well-supported libraries and IT-laboratories in these centres equip the children
with the skills to achieve better results in their school work, and, as such, a better chance of successful careers.
In the life skills- and arts and crafts-classes, children are also equipped with creative knowledge and the
opportunity to express themselves on a new level and in a supportive environment.
The Family Support Services-section, headed up by social workers, worked endlessly to create a better and
more supportive environment for children at home. Some of the services include provision of food parcels,
assistance with grants, and primary health support. They also got involved in a number of crime cases, where
much-needed support was given to the affected families.
We look forward to the new year, and the opportunity to serve communities through a better-qualified,
responsible and accountable workforce.

Thanks to Grant Thorton
For the past 15 years we have assisted with the audit of Afrika Tikkun. To watch their
growth and increased scope of projects evolve over the years has been a humbling and
uplifting experience.
Afrika Tikkun’s Cradle to Career model invests in the development of children from
early infancy into young adulthood and into the world of work. This approach ties in
closely with Grant Thornton’s objective of growing our profession and our country.
Over 2% of our fees are dedicated annually to the upliftment of our community, made
up mainly by donating the time and expertise of our professionals.
It is indeed a privilege to assist AfrikaTikkun as auditors and accountants and we hope to
continue our association with this extraordinary organisation for many years to come.

THANKS! 22

Australia
We are constantly humbled by the commitment and generosity of our Australian
donors and supporters. A big thank you! Our immense gratitude to the individuals,
families, corporate employees, and foundations who offer Afrika Tikkun the capacity
to assist so many in need. With your help, miracles happen, little lives have hope, and a
vision is made possible.
Thank you to each and every Australian supporter for investing in the children and the future of a country so far away – yet so dear
to all our hearts. We thank you for partnering with us during the past year and look forward to engaging further in the year ahead.

South Africa
“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference
we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life
we lead.”
(Nelson Mandela – 2002)
The scale of problems facing Afrika Tikkun is sometimes daunting. But the reward for its
perseverance is the credibility it has achieved in its short life, not only within the community
and those who receive its assistance, but also in government, business circles, and other NGOs.
The most important lesson learned has been that of expectations. The more Afrika Tikkun
achieves, the more is expected of it and the more resources, both material and human,
are required.
Thank you for the difference you have made in improving the lives of so many young children
in South Africa. Over the past year, the number of children we helped has increased from
17,000 (2013) to 19,621 (2014) – a total of 2,621 more lives changed. We at Afrika Tikkun
sincerely appreciate the example set through your generous contributions towards our
work. Our unique approach of Cradle to Career plus various partnerships, including you, our
investors, the government and local community, has been extremely successful.
Many children and youths participating in our programmes are able to realize their dreams of
becoming responsible and productive citizens. With your help, we are building a sustainable
future for the children and youth of South Africa. Once again, our heartfelt thanks for your
partnership and support during this year.

Chairman’s comment
This year, we celebrate the increasing maturity of Afrika Tikkun Services (PTY) Limited (ATS) formed as an aligned strategic
partnering organisation.
The birth of ATS in 2012 enabled us to position the company as an organisation capable of meeting the transformation agenda
of our corporate partners. Its service offering naturally builds on Afrika Tikkun’s youth development programmes, ensuring real
and current job opportunities to beneficiaries.
The combination of the developmental activities from the NPC with the job readiness and placement activities of the
(Pty) Limited company offers great promise, and is the first of its kind in the country. After Afrika Tikkun develops children
from infancy to young adulthood, ATS’ job readiness-training, assessment and career placement offers a tangible model for
breaking the cycle of poverty and addressing the critical issue of youth unemployment.
ATS showed acceptable performance in its first year. Whilst a set-up operating loss was incurred, as anticipated, a business
plan was formulated that ensures that youth from Afrika Tikkun programmes, as well as certain other areas in the broader
community, are assessed, developed, skilled, and recruited into a wide array of job opportunities.
The inclusion of John Botha, former executive director of Adcorp, and Gavin Freeman (ED FM) have contributed to ensuring the
relevance of the work undertaken in this complex field. Their contribution to the formation and expansion of the business of
ATS is significant and appreciated. Errol Pillay, CEO of ATS, has shown himself to be a dedicated, motivated and highly principled
leader that cares as much for the fulfilment of children into job objectives as he does for the commercial liability of the business
of ATS.

Afrika Tikkun Services (Pty) LIMITED
grows exponentially
According to the Quarterly Labour Force Survey by Statistics South Africa, in the third quarter of 2013,
34.8% of young South Africans could not find a job this increases to 47.5% if one consider youth who lost
hope in this regard.
Afrika Tikkun Services (Pty) Limited (ATS) was set up to respond to this reality in our country through
fulfilling the career mandate of the Cradle to Career model. ATS was established as a for -profit entity in
order to contribute to the sustainability of the Afrika Tikkun model. ATS owned by the MaAfrika Tikkun
Endowment Trust, pass on all nett income generated within ATS to the Trust and to further the work of
Afrika Tikkun in communities.
ATS provides skills development services, project management and consulting services, along skills
deployment services. The ATS training and development programmes is framed on interventions that
unlock individual potential and address the psycho-social development of youth by providing youth
with appropriate world of work exposure. It is our belief that these modules are essential for sustainable
development of youth and that they enhance the theoretical work around career readiness.
Initial funding from RAM provided for the start up to ATS. The first year of operations was dedicated
to creating a tangible product offering compliant with holistic skills development principles and SAQA
accreditation. ATS programmes help beneficiaries once they leave grade 12 with dedicated career
programmes and link these individuals up with real opportunities within corporates.
Last year two pilot programmes, benefitting 385 youth, were concluded and a comprehensive skills
database for job placement opportunities was created. A central job centre was created at our Phutaditjaba
Centre in Alexandra, with the help of partnerships; the centre was created to provide young people with
career information and access to the job market through a national placement service. The evaluation
of our impact is measured in the number of individuals placed in work opportunities. All youth on our
database are interviewed to allow for career guidance and appropriate matching with career opportunities.
In 2013, we sent out 2,381 CVs and placed approximately 150 candidates in short-term and permanent jobs.
These youth would otherwise not have had the same exposure.
ATS was also able to improve its BBBEE accreditation from level 3 to level 2. Our focus in 2014 will be to
expand our database, and continue to recruit, train and place candidates in career opportunities linked
with corporates and the BBBEE objectives. Our client engagement strategy for 2014 is to become the first
port of call for sustainable career solutions for unemployed youth in the communities we serve. We are
confident that our efforts in 2014 will enhance Afrika Tikkun`s Cradle to Career model and lead to profitable
income to further sustain the work we do as Afrika Tikkun from Cradle to Career, well into the future.
