About us
Hi, I’m Clifford Legodi – a youth worker from Diepsloot. I’ve been working with people in need in the poorest neighbourhoods of Johannesburg for 5 years already.
Now I’m starting community tours around Diepsloot township to make an even bigger impact. They will help you experience the local life, understand the challenges we face, as well as contribute to making lives better.
Learn more about this enriching experience below.
