Kitso Lesedi Youth Development understands that poverty is more than about an income, as it also strongly involves deprivation of resources, opportunities and choices. Therefore the purposes of the programs within the Development Centre are to capacitate the poor and the most vulnerable with both hard and soft skills, moving them from a state of being poor to self-reliance.
