Starting Something That Matters: The Birth and Growth of Sozo tells the inspiring story of Sozo, a Cape Town-based non-profit that began with a simple yet powerful conviction to address the multifaceted needs of young people in the community.

Founded by Anton and his wife, Sozo evolved from a church youth group into a growing organization focused on education, employment, and enterprise. The key to their success has been genuine community engagement, symbolized by their move from a church facility into the heart of Vrygrond. Sozo’s journey challenges the notion of an "exit strategy" for non-profits, emphasizing that effective community development requires long-term commitment and adaptation to changing needs.

Inspired by Blake Mycoskie's Start Something That Matters, Sozo’s story demonstrates the transformative power of action rooted in conviction, presence, and a focus on building, not breaking, community.

The message is clear: true change begins with a spark, persistence, and a willingness to serve.
