On this significant Youth Day, the CATCH Boys Group, made up of young men aged 15–21, visited our local community school - Mzamomwethu Public School - to take part in a clean-up campaign and give back to our community.

As we commemorate June 16, we remember that freedom was not free. Many innocent people lost their lives, while others were imprisoned for standing up and fighting for the rights and dignity of future generations. We honour their sacrifices through positive action and community service.

Today, the CATCH Powerboys are helping to keep our streets and roads clean by collecting litter and promoting environmental responsibility. This initiative forms part of our commitment to combating water pollution, as rubbish and waste often block drainage systems and contribute to flooding and unsanitary conditions.

Sewage runoff affecting areas around the school and clinic continues to have a negative impact on essential services and public health. Children are often exposed to contaminated water, putting them at risk of illness. By working together to keep our environment clean, we can help create a healthier and safer community for everyone.

Happy Youth Day! Together, we can make a difference.

Our School Outreach Team had a wonderful opportunity to host a Child Protection Awareness Programme at Kwelerha Primary School. The event was aimed at educating and empowering learners about their rights, personal safety, and the importance of speaking out when they feel unsafe.

We were honoured to be joined by representatives from SAPS, SANCA, CMR, and the Department of Correctional Services, who shared valuable information and guidance with the learners.

The programme encouraged children to understand their rights, recognize unsafe situations, and know that it is important to report any form of abuse, neglect, or danger to a trusted adult or relevant authorities.

Together, we are building safer communities by empowering our children with knowledge, confidence, and the support they need to thrive.

A heartfelt thank you to all our partners and stakeholders for making this event a success.

Child Protection Month reminds us that every child deserves to feel safe, heard, loved, and protected.

Behind every smile can be a child carrying fear, hurt, or silence. It is our responsibility as adults, families, schools, and communities to notice, listen, and act.

Children do not always have the words to explain abuse, neglect, or trauma β€” sometimes their behaviour, drawings, fears, or silence tell the story instead.

Let us create spaces where children feel safe enough to speak, safe enough to cry, and safe enough to simply be children.

Protecting children is not a once-off conversation. It is a daily commitment.

🌱 CATCH Food Security Project 🌱

The CATCH Food Security Project began soon after the organisation received its 3.8-hectare property as a generous gift from Mercedes Benz in 2003. In early 2004, the CATCH team, together with volunteers, established 30 beautiful round gardens called β€œMandalas” β€” a gardening method inspired by Australia.

Vulnerable families from Mzamomhle were invited to grow organic vegetables to help improve nutrition and create sustainable food sources for their families. Over the years, the project continued to grow with the support of partners such as Trees for Africa, who provided important training and guidance.

A special greenhouse, lovingly called the β€œCathedral,” was built by a Methodist Church minister using cane and plastic. Cocktail tomatoes grown in this greenhouse were sold to retailers, and the profits helped provide a salary for the Garden Caretaker.

Today, the Food Security Project provides space for 162 women to grow vegetables and support the nutritional needs of their children and families.
The project also provides counselling and support for wellbeing, empowerment, and food security awareness. Each woman also receives a food voucher to assist their households.

Our social workers continue to educate and empower these amazing women on important topics such as autism awareness, child protection and parenting so they can share knowledge within their communities. As the saying goes, β€œIt takes a village to raise a child.”

We are incredibly proud of our garden team and all the women involved for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to building stronger and healthier communities. πŸ’šπŸŒ
