Social Cohesion: These spaces act as communal areas where individuals can connect, fostering a sense of community and belonging.

Neftaly’s Role in Youth Empowerment
Beyond environmental initiatives, Neftaly is dedicated to empowering youth across Southern Africa. By involving young people in the planning and maintenance of urban green spaces, the organization provides opportunities for skill development, employment, and active participation in community development. This approach not only enhances the quality of urban spaces but also contributes to the personal growth and leadership skills of the youth involved.
