The network is based on the UN convention on the right of the child to participate and therefore, all our programmes are right based. We have successfully laid the ground work for various programmes and initiatives that facilitate the organisation in meeting its objectives. Well now is the time for us to be more aggressive in our implementation of these programmes. Please read more on these. South Africa has been affected by violent attacks related to xenophobia around various parts of the country. The violent attacks are predominately being aimed at foreign nationals. SAYVON strongly denounces this behaviour and has launched a campaign to fight the scurge of these attacks.

The project is an initiative that seeks to increase the participation of young women in development issues, particularly civil issues within communities. Please click >>here<< to read more. SAYVON is in the process of running a pilot on a very exciting project called peopLinQ (pronounced "people link"). This project will allow SAYVON youth to be able to communicate and share ideas in an easy and cost-effective manner, whenever, wherever. Keep watching this space for more information... One of the goals we have set for SAYVON, is to get more views from the youth so that we always remain relevant. Please click >>here<< to drop us a note through the eGroup channel. The Regional Youth Hearing took place in Johannesburg, South Africa on 28 November 2008 at the Kliptown Freedom Square/Walter Sisulu Square. Please click >>here<< to read more about it.
