“Risks can emerge at any stage of life, but those occurring during sensitive developmental periods, especially early childhood, are particularly harmful.” - World Health Organization.

Mental health is not what we focus on when we’re older, it should be a priority from the early stages of life. Particularly when there’s a prevalence of poverty and inequality.

We are committed to seeing rural communities transform with one of our key focus area actively championing mental and emotional resilience.

Target: increase food production by 20% and income by 50%. The secret ingredient: partnership!

We have kickstarted our Yithina Agri Programme with the Pilot school and local farmers 👩🏽‍🌾👨🏽‍🌾👩🏽‍🌾🌾🌾🌾
The energy was one of collaboration, trust and a hope for more to be accomplished, together.

This is part of our skills development programme that we are certain will transform the community in a meaningful and sustainable way.

A rural municipality with 128,565 people.
Youth-heavy and strong agricultural potential. This is a landscape where wellbeing, skills and opportunity can shift futures.

This snapshot of our pilot programme’s focus, the NDZ Local Municipality, seeks to remind us that we can activate potential in places where brilliance is present but under-resourced.

We do what we do to unlock growth, strengthen community wellbeing, and support long-term rural development.

What has been interesting to witness, is the number of women working on the ground in societal development. This is the gritty work; these women are the first responders when societal breakdowns occur, they are the ones who create a plan of action. Women leadership is at times mistaken for fragility, meekness and emotional reactivity, our exposure has demonstrated time and time again how women’s leadership is transformative, creative and courageous.

Here’s to honouring the Women’s March of 1956 and celebrating women in Rural Development who carry the same fight and grit. Wathinta abafazi wathinta imbokodo ✊🏽

What a privilege it was to begin this work - within community. From our partners Vukuzithathe Community Health and Welfare Development Organisation, to the Principal and teachers of Broteni Primary School and the energetic and engaged learners, it was a success. We are grateful of these beginnings, as we’re expectant of measurable impact to follow, through communal effort.

How does one build a prosperous and sustainable life without a resilient heart and mind? This is the gap we fill - alongside our other key support pillars.

We focus on school learners, teachers & parents and the surrounding community - because building resilience in the learner will go further when the community is also empowered to be resilient.
