Advocacy and Awareness: Through various programs and events, Neftaly advocates for the rights of children and educates communities about the dangers and unacceptability of child labor.

Broader Context of Child Labor in Southern Africa
Child labor remains a significant issue in Southern Africa, with children being subjected to hazardous work in agriculture, street vending, and domestic labor. In South Africa, for instance, children from rural areas, undocumented children, and those with disabilities are particularly vulnerable. While the government has implemented programs like the Child Support Grant and the National School Nutrition Program, challenges persist in fully addressing the scope of child labor.
