“A youth organization that focuses on innovative projects, research and development”
SAYDO (South African Youth Development Organization) is a research based youth development organization founded by Dr. Cibi John Francis in the year 2012. SAYDO is a registered non-profit organization (NPO) and a Public Benefits Organization (SARS). SAYDO is registered under the Department of Social Development, established to support the community, especially the youth by providing the space to do research works based on youth development - new initiatives, give various coaching programs, developing unique community projects, leadership training sessions (online and offline), giving affiliations and collaborations with other local NPOs, and at the same time use their talents and ability for the goodness and benefit of the society. Our research approach involves partnering with young people to gain key insights on the issues that are most important to them. We work to make research accessible to a wide range of young people and decision-makers. SAYDO is anticipating complete support from the people and the South African government. The organization is endeavoring to maintain connections with multiple international foundations and multinational companies.
‘Youth's performance improves when they comprehend and are given responsibilities, clear objectives, and expectations for life.’
'SAYDO Global Guards (GGI)' is a global research-based project developed by Dr. Cibi John Francis in the year 2022. The project's unique aim is to conduct research and find solutions to major global challenges such as gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF), drug abuse, high depression, and suicide.
To achieve the objective, violence must be eliminated, drug abuse must be fought, depression must be fought, women, girls, boys, and children must be empowered, and necessary assistance and support must be offered. In addition, the objective is to create a culture of equality, unity, and respect in relationships by organizing various life skills workshops, intervention programs, and reality-based self-protection training sessions.
In this project we have three levels of training and operations:
Level 1. Prevention, Level 2. Transformation, and, Level 3. Inspiration.
Prevention and awareness are the main focuses of the project's primary steps and initiatives. Empowering girls and boys, teaching them life and survival skills, and training them how to prevent depression, sexual abuse, and similar situations. There are theory classes, awareness sessions, group discussions, case studies, and other related activities that involve a variety of activities.
Here we are expecting a significant transformation from weak emotional intelligence to strong emotional intelligence and wellness. The process of transformation can be achieved through various fitness and survival self-defense training sessions. It's crucial for individuals to be able to defend themselves physically and emotionally. In addition, we are looking forward to a transformation that encompasses all aspects of our lives.
The Global Guards plan to inspire young people by delivering life coaching, leadership sessions, and team building events. Moreover, we nurture the talents of every member of the Global Guards. This is a great chance to acquire self-knowledge and improve your skills in performing arts and literature.
The method is to establish Global Guard empowerment units in various locations, including other countries.

SAYDO is constantly seeking individuals who are making a significant impact in both their personal and community lives. We call them as ‘Difference Makers’. We hold people who make a difference from different walks of life in great respect and honor.
If you are a person who is making a difference to the community or if you know someone who is doing the same for the community. Let us know. We have a variety of programs in the pipeline that could be beneficial in many ways.
It has come to our attention that many young individuals with exceptional skills are entangled in socio-economic problems, particularly in rural areas. They are unable to exhibit their talents and capabilities due to lack of opportunities. The organization made the decision to adopt young individuals with exceptional abilities and give them ample chances to reach their full potential.
If you are a youngster working in any department, corporate sector, or as an independent, and you are making a difference in the community. This project, ‘SAYDO DIFFERENCE MAKERS’ is for you.
