“In 2021, my life was a struggle. I was trying to make ends meet by selling makeup and nail supplies on Small Street in Johannesburg. It was a daily grind, and I often wondered if this was all there was to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, a friend who was a student at Outreach Foundation advised me to take the Beautician course offered at the organisation. I was skeptical at first, but something about it resonated with me. I decided to take the leap and enroll in the course. Little did I know that this decision would change my life forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beautician course at Outreach Foundation was more than just a training programme, it was a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I worked hard, pouring my heart and soul into every lesson, project, and assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day finally arrived when I received my certification as a makeup technician, nail technician, and eyelash technician. I was overjoyed, proud of myself, and grateful to Outreach Foundation for believing in me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But my journey didn’t end there. With my newfound skills and confidence, I started building a successful career in the beauty industry. Today, I am the co-owner of a thriving beauty salon, where I get to do what I love every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of that, the Outreach Foundation also helped me secure a part-time job as a facilitator intern for the Gold Youth Programme. It feels incredible to give back to the community that has given me so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking back on my journey, I am filled with gratitude and humility. I reflect on the struggles I faced, the doubts I had, and the fears that held me back. But I also remember the triumphs, successes, and lives I’ve touched along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I am proud to say that I can provide for my family, thanks to the skills and knowledge I gained at Outreach Foundation. More than that, I’ve gained a sense of purpose, belonging, and fulfillment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re reading this and struggling to find your way, I want you to know that there is hope. There is a way out of the darkness and into the light. It may not be easy, but it will be worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you, Outreach Foundation, for believing in me, empowering me, and giving me the tools I needed to succeed. I will be forever grateful.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
