The focus of the NPC is to assist previously disadvantaged young women of colour in obtaining a high school and tertiary education.  The young women that we support would not have had an opportunity to study further without the NPC. By funding these young women, we ensure they are able to obtain a high school or tertiary qualification. The NPC provides the young women an opportunity to enhance their lives as young South Africans. We believe the NPC instils a drive in the young women that they should never give up, even though things may seem impossible at the time.
