We are looking for your help to support YOSA (Youth Opportunities South Africa) a charity close to the heart of many Qantas Cabin and Flight crew.
The YOSA charity was founded by Astonishment Marupisa and like most non-profit organizations, YOSA needs financial support. Unlike many other charities, we can personally vouch for exactly where any funding to YOSA goes as this is validated to the point where a Qantas Pilot and former cabin crew sit on the advisory board but if you want to learn more just take a look thorough our website.
Youth Opportunities South Africa Charity (YOSA), recognises many students leave High School without vocational skills to gain meaningful employment. Working with high schools located in and near Johannesburg, we aim to equip students with vocational skills to support them earn an income. Our after-school programs include agricultural projects and vocational training in IT, tailoring and farming.
“Astonishment’s vision articulated during YOSA’s inaugural board meeting is to help one person at a time. His vision stems from the philosophy that poverty is not a sentence with a full stop. While his endeavour is to change young people’s lives, he also believes that young people still have opportunities to change their lives – hence ‘Youth Opportunities’. This entails improving the participation of young people in academic spaces and in the economy. Consequently, there is a need to marry the social, emotional and academic to enable young people to face the challenges of life with hope. Through research based practice, the long-term vision is to see the project developing a model that impacts youth and childcare across Africa”.
The funds raised will support our cause to provide safe and reliable transport for the volunteers of YOSA and the children and families of the community of Soweto to which YOSA provides support. Funds raised shall also contribute to assist YOSA to contract expert consultancy to attract corporate sponsorship in South Africa to ensure sustainability and growth.
We thank you deeply for any funds you may be able to donate for this specific cause which will allow YOSA to continue its invaluable work.

In Australia, Rotarians Against Malaria observe Malaria Awareness Day on 30 April each year, in conjunction with World Malaria Day on 25 April, to raise awareness of the global burden of malaria, a preventable and treatable disease that puts half the world at risk and kills a child every two minutes.
In 2018, these investments saved almost 600,000 lives and prevented nearly 100 million malaria cases compared to 2000 levels. Globally, in 2018, an estimated 1,109 deaths occurred daily as a result of malaria infections. Of 1,109 deaths, an estimated 67% were children under five years.
The global theme for World Malaria Day, ‘Zero Malaria Starts with Me’, emphasizes everyone’s power and responsibility – no matter where they live – to ensure no one dies from a mosquito bite.
Rotary is closely monitoring the pandemic of COVID-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus, and continuously assessing the potential impact on Rotary operations, events, and members.
Your health and safety are always our top priorities.
In the near term, Rotary International recommends that districts and Rotary and Rotaract clubs meet virtually, cancel, or postpone meetings and events following the advice of national and local health officials.
Rotary encourages members and their families to take precautions to protect themselves from contracting the virus by: washing your hands often and thoroughly, putting distance between yourself and others if COVID-19 is spreading in your community, and staying home if you are sick.
