Nyakallo Community Organisation

14/07/2026

Our Free State community monitors continue to document the realities facing communities living with pollution, unsafe mining practices, failing infrastructure, and long‑ignored injustices. Their stories are not just reports; they are testimonies of survival, resilience, and the urgent need for accountability.

On International Women’s Day, the Bench Marks Foundation honours the strength, leadership, and resilience of women in mining-affected communities.

Women continue to stand at the forefront of defending human rights, protecting the environment, and building just and dignified communities. We remain committed to amplifying women’s voices and supporting their leadership in the struggle for environmental and social justice.

The water literacy campaign is running smoothly. Last week, we went to Dihwai Primary School, and the learners were so excited about testing water quality from their school tap.

the only issue was that we couldn't upload their results. 🤣🔥🔥🔥

Nyakallo’s first day with Tshireletso Primary School marked the beginning of an inspiring journey toward water literacy and environmental awareness. The Water Literacy Workshop, designed to educate young learners about the value of water and sustainable practices, created an engaging and meaningful experience for everyone involved.

From the moment we arrived at the school, there was a sense of excitement in the air. Curious to discover what the workshop would entailNyakallo’s first day with Tshireletso Primary was more than just a presentation , it was the planting of seeds for long-term environmental responsibility. The smiles, thoughtful questions, and active participation from learners showed that the message of water conservation had truly resonated.

we then concluded to test tap water from the school with the learners and they showed interest through out the session.

Indeed, day 1 was a success.

Day 2 is going well, Nyakallo is very fortunate to be a part of the community and organization exhibit. It is very important for communities to reclaim their narrative. No one tells a story than the person who has the experience of it.
