PL ALUMNI is registered in terms
of The Non-Profit Organisation
Act,1997
The organisation was formed in
2013 by a group of youth from Dr
Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District
who noticed that there were no
educational activities that youth in
the community could engage in
after school,
The purpose is to instil a culture of
learning and solution driven
entrepreneurship.
We believe in jointly creating
educated, self-driven future leaders

University Application Bursary
Scheme
The average University application fee is R200, and to increase
the chance of getting into university, one has to apply to at least
3 universities. We find in our community, that even if a student is
a high performer, they fail to get into university due to the fact
that they didn’t have financial resources to apply. The university
application fee bursary is to assist the top performing students
with finances for them to apply to at least 3 universities of their
choice (up to R500 each). The students are selected based on
their Grade 11 results and need to have financial needs.
Focusing on the no-fee paying schools, we assist 5 students per
school. We wish to increase this number to enabling all leaners
to be able to apply for university.
University Registration Bursary
Scheme
This bursary scheme if for the crème of the crop, our top
performing matriculates. Focusing on the non-fee paying
schools, we award the top performer from each school
with a bursary of up to R4000 aimed at assisting the
student register into his/her selected bursary.
This scheme should feed from the university application
bursary scheme, however, we recognise that sometime a
student that did not do well in lower grades might put
more effort and perform better than the students under
the application bursary scheme in his/her final year. We
have so far assisted at least 4 learners to register at
Universities.

PL Alumni partnered with Enke in November 2014 by sending 8students from the localVryburg school to get involved.
Student Feedback on the Enke
Trailblazers PartnershipMalefa Dlamini Keenan Joseph
We had to choose negative impact in our
community which you will work on it during the 9
months period given to implement .
I ,Malefa Dlamini saw lack of motivation in children
under the age of 12. I decided to create something
which would keep them busy and motivated . I
decided to make a talent show and basically
specialized in modelling only due to lack of
resources. Fortunately Enke funded my project and
made me 25 t-shirts . Parents loved the idea because
it kept their children away from the streets.
During the program I had my ups and downs . I
sometimes wanted to give up but with all the
technics given at the forum I had to persevere.
I had an amazing time with Enke . I had to learn to be
patient and connect. This has also built my
confidence.
Thanks to PL Alumni and Enke for making it possible
for us.
When I first went to the Enke program I never thought it will play a big role In my life, as it was always my dream .To change my community, we where. Given 9 months to make an impact In our community, I did something for community as well as for my school.
On the 3rd of October we went for theCelebration at Bloemfontein, the celebration was about knowing what the trailblazers did for their communities, as well as the challenges they have faced during their project.
I'm thankful for PL Alumni for all the support as well as Enke for teaching us and guiding us, it shows that we have people who cares about South Africans communities, I will like to be a part of the alumni one day and help.
Annual Interschool Debate
Challenge (AID)
This is our flagship program, which has been running since 2013.AID is meant to challenge the students on general knowledge,teach them public speaking skills and also give them exposure toeconomical, political and social environmental issues.
It is both entertaining and educational as we take the youthfrom the different schools and spend a day debating issues thatare relevant to them. We get to hear from them, and hopefullyunderstand their era better.
The challenge is split into Junior (Grade 8-9) and Senior (Grade10-12), and each year is themed around current and topicalevents affecting the youth. We impact at least 600 learners fromour community annually.
