The Social Employment Fund in the Makhanda Coalition of after-school organisations is heading for a third round thanks to Awarenet being contracted to lead this work by The Learning Trust. After lots of planning and organising we are happy to announce that SEF will keep going. This third round also comes with new working opportunities for our SEF participants.
Twelve SEF participants started their new work at the 
Department of Health in Makhanda doing data capturing. During their work time they work on medical files from clinics from and around Makhanda. This is an important job since changing from physical medical records to digital ones is an important step in improving the infrastructure of the health system in the Eastern Cape.
When we asked what these SEF employees think of their new workplace we were told how much they enjoy this change of environment. Most of them used to work at the Joza Youth Hub which is a favourite hang-out spot to many kids in the Joza township and can hence become quite noisy at times. The work at the Department of Health offers a less hectic working environment while still pushing forward positive changes within our community.
