Thuso Advice and Development Centre
LED BY: Michael Lasky Besent
MAIN CHALLENGES FACED BY THE COMMUNITY: Unemployment, crime, teen pregnancy, poverty, need for constructive activities like arts and music for youth.
MAIN ACTIVITIES: Paralegal support; labour disputes; farm eviction; YouthBank.
Thuso is a small Advice Office located in Pampierstad and tries to tackle these social ills by offering paralegal services to a community who have lost faith in the justice system. It has also set up a YouthBank programme aimed at addressing the youth unemployment crisis by funding projects conceived of and run by young people. This LDA also participates in programmes that are aimed at improving the community of Pampierstad like the recent election and voter education process, anti-substance abuse talks and mediating on various community related issues and cases.
