Discover Who We Are
Teenagers and Youth Health of South Africa (TYHSA) is a registered non-profit organisation founded in 2013 to promote the health, wellbeing, protection, and empowerment of adolescents and young people across South Africa. Established by human rights and gender activist Mr. Mthokozisi (CM) Luthuli, TYHSA works to address critical social challenges affecting young people, including HIV and TB, gender-based violence, teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, mental health issues, and barriers to education.
