Resource Access Programme
The Resource Access Programme (RAP) helps children, young adults, parents, and other caring adults find the programs they need to help in a crisis. From health care to rape counseling, from tutoring programs to government agencies, we gather all the information in one place. Our goal is to empower learners and their families to get the help they need quickly and effectively.
Gathering Information

The Resource Access Programme (RAP) imparts knowledge on resources available to learners within the community, ranging from NGO to government-sponsored. It brings Knowledge partners within the school space, who speak of their services, and how learners can access these, putting a face and humanity behind a service.

But information on its own is not enough.

Peer Mentors

As part of our Resource Access Programme, Amandla enlists the services of 15 recent matriculants as peer mentors each year, sending them into schools to give peer mentoring in the grades 4, 7 and 9 classes during the Life Orientation period. Their one-year internship focuses on teaching life skills to school children, both in primary and secondary school, while at the same time helping the mentors build their own work skills with ongoing educational opportunities, personal development plans and on-the-job training. Many of our success stories come from our peer mentors as well as from the students who find safety and support in our Safe Space.

Having someone from your neighborhood, someone who made it through high school in a place where 50% of all students drop out, having someone just like you return to the classroom to walk the journey with you — this is powerful.
Together, we can make a difference.
