Issue: South African townships often nurture a cycle of poverty, fostering prevalent alcoholism and drug abuse among residents. The absence of safe and nurturing environments leads to traumatic experiences, coupled with a lack of encouragement and opportunities for personal development, resulting in low self-esteem and a diminished sense of hope.
Goal: To cultivate safe and nurturing environments in Ndlambe, fostering the development of balanced individuals. Additionally, individuals who have experienced trauma and struggle with low self-esteem will have access to support and workshops to unlock their potential.
Beneficiaries: 180 clients per year
