Young or old, change makers have no age limits!

Too often society limits achievement to the younger phases of life. There’s a pressuring sense to have it “all together” by a certain again. Obtain a qualification, buy a new home, get a car, get a job, marry and start a family – a phenomenon of society based beliefs and systematic views. 

We are here to remind you that none of it is true. 

Age is a token of life long experiences obtained on earth, but not necessarily the defining factor of each milestone. 

Did you know that you could achieve anything you set your mind on, at any age? 10 Amazing Accomplishments by Seniors is an inspiring article where we learn the importance of achievement beyond age. It’s all about your heart’s desires, dreams and inspirations, not age. 

As Ithemba Lomphakathi our programs empower both the young and the old. We have successfully upskilled senior citizens in impoverished communities with new skills. These new skills enable them to earn a living or start new businesses. Infact, most of the crafts listed on this website are made by the program participants of senior age. 

Did you know that Vera Wang only designed her first dress at the age of 40 years? And yet she is a well known prominent global designer known for her iconic work on runways and global fashion platforms. Read all about it here

We are here to remind you that anything is possible despite your age or background. Get involved. Stay motivated. Pressa. Pusha. Phanda.
