SayPro blogs were first launched in 2014 when Neftaly Malatjie the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of SayPro received the request from the staff at Nelson Mandela Children Fund.
They requested Neftaly Malatjie to start documenting the work which SayPro and its intermediaries it is writing.
He then firstly launched SayPro Blogs to ensure that we share the stories of the work that we do. SayPro Blogs also shares the work, SayPro Services, Activities and Projects which we are currently working on or intends to work on in future.
SayPro blogs has managed to achieve Neftaly Malatjie’s request to ensure that we document and share what is currently happening at SayPro.
We hope that you will find our articles and posts as informative as you want them to be.
Feel free to give us feedback and your inputs as we are also a learning institution.
