Dear AVA Friend,
Because of your generosity, the Mobile Career Café (MCC) is celebrating a remarkable milestone this month: five years of empowering nearly 5000 young people across the Western and Eastern Cape in South Africa, with essential career education and work readiness skills.
Together, we have helped learners to:
For youth out of school, the impact is just as profound. One participant from Botrivier shared:
"Attending the MCC was an incredibly positive and enriching experience. I learnt how simple it is to create a profile on an online job portal—something that once felt intimidating. With the MCC team’s guidance, I gained the confidence to apply for opportunities independently and even help others do the same. Just yesterday, I assisted a fellow youth with a college application. MCC has planted a seed of confidence and empowerment in our community."
Stories like this are possible because of you. Your support has not only sustained the MCC for the past five years—it has transformed lives, opened doors, and inspired hope in communities that need it most.
As we look ahead, our vision is bold: to reach 50,000 more youth in the next five years. With your continued partnership, we can make this dream a reality and ensure that every young person has the chance to discover their potential and pursue meaningful opportunities.
Thank you for walking this journey with us. Here’s to the next chapter—together.
With kind regards and much appreciation.
The MCC Team
