Don Bosco Hostel The Don Bosco Hostel (DBH) provided accommodation and full board and lodging to youth recruited by 16+, youth from severely disadvantaged communities attended the YES and the WOC programmes. Youth from abjectly poor households, and or travelling from far away and rural areas, have the opportunity to stay in a safe environment whilst in training. This accommodation allowed for focused learning and development. It offered weekly boarding (Monday to Friday), with a capacity of 24 beds. The youth received three meals per day and where provided with bedding and toiletries. During their stay at the hostel they were expected to complete certain chores i.e. clean the bathroom, dormitory and kitchen. They had regular excursions visiting cultural as well as tourist destinations around Cape Town. The Don Bosco Hostel accommodated males between the ages of 18 and 28. Youth who stayed in the hostel underwent training at either the YES Project or Waves of Change. This accommodation facility enabled youth who lived too far from Cape Town and youth who lived in extremely impoverished circumstances to access the S.I.Y.P. training opportunities. During the afternoons and evenings, the youth participated in informal life skills and recreational activities. After completion of their training courses, the Job Placement Officer assisted the youngsters to secure employment. A Youth careworker was always involved in assisting and guiding youth with any problems they may have and ensuring that daily chores were completed. Nutritious meals were provided during their stay at Don Bosco Hostel. In 2017, 123 young men were accommodated. 22
