Project Name/Description:
Reigniting Hope Through Education
In Dennilton, where opportunity often feels scarce, Dan Emmanuel Ngwenya is working to change that. At 27, as Development Director of the Dennilton Educational Movement (DEM), Dan is leading campaigns that restore hope, purpose, and belief in education. Since joining in 2022, he’s helped grow initiatives like Steps to School, Last Push, and PadDrive — each designed to support learners academically and emotionally. “For many young people here, school feels like a dead end,” he says. “I want to show them it can be a new beginning.” Through mentorship, motivation, and community outreach, Dan is helping learners reconnect with their dreams. His work is not just about academic success — it’s about dignity, direction, and believing that change is possible.
