THE YTM STORY

Your Turn Move Foundation is a story that inspires hope and aims to impact and transform people’s lives towards better, stronger and sustainable futures.  It is a story that reminds communities that it is their Turn to Move, be informed, be empowered, learn and become skilled to claim their rightful place in society and to create sustainable socio-economic opportunities.

At YTM we believe that communities have the potential to move from hardship to opportunity, move from despair to hope and move from poverty to sustainable socio-economic progression.

The YTM Service Model adopts the UBUNTU and Whole Family approach.  We believe that people are human through others, which translates into ‘I am because We are.’  The UBUNTU philosophy is premised on interconnectedness and that people rely on each other to MOVE from they are to where they want to be.

While families are made up of individuals, their challenges and successes are interdependent. By using the Whole Family Approach, family members work together to support each other’s goals and achieve long-term change and stability.

YTM Foundation acknowledges that it cannot operate in isolation and therefore fosters and establishes collaborative partnerships, with communities, local authorities, sponsors and donors to ensure support, for the programs and projects it is embarking upon.
