​

In June 20205, 100 Grade 11 learners from KwaMashu and Inanda high schools were exposed to our 5-day empowerment winter school.

​

An additional 220 Grade 12 learners attended the Career Expo during the 2025 winter school.

​

This transformative experience equipped them with valuable skills and knowledge to thrive in their future endeavors. We are proud of their commitment to personal growth and look forward to seeing the positive impact they will make in their communities!

48 learners received health screening from a qualified team of doctors during the 2024 Winter School.

100 learners received health screening, including voluntary HIV testing from the Department of Health, mobile clinic at the 2025 Winter School.

148 learners educated about good nutrition and its impact on academic performance and well-being.

The learners were also educated about healthy eating to prevent and manage various diseases.
 

2 clinics in Inada receive regular nutrition support through our Registered Dietitian, supporting the nurses and community health workers in nutrition screening and education.

​

Participated in the Department of Health's Door-to-Door Campaign in Inanda, providing nutrition screen and education.

In February 2025, our 48 Cohort 1 learners, who are now in Grade 12, received stationary, school backpacks, school shoes, and uniforms according to their needs.

​

48 cohort 1 learners received mental health education during the mental health workshop held in February 2025, in partnership with Lifeline Durban and the KwaMashu Department of Social Development office.

​

148 Grade 11 and 12 learners were empowered about GBV, social media bullying and mental health. This includes education around what to do in cases of being a victim or when you know someone who is a victim. What support is available in such cases.

We help establish and revived 3 communal vegetable gardens in Dube village, Congo and Ohlange, in Inanda. The members were given seeds and seedlings.

​

One of the gardens includes very hard working and enthusiastic persons with disabilities.

​

We have established good partnerships with the Department of Agriculture and the eThekwini Municipality's Agro-ecology department in supporting these gardens.

​

We have identified households in Inanda who have expressed interest in establishing home vegetable gardens. 

All these interventions improve household food security, nutrition status and over-all well-being of individuals.

In partnership with the Department of health, we have trained 148 Community Health Workers of Inanda on Nutrition.

​

In partnership with eThekwini Municipality's Agro-ecology department, we have trained 40 community members of Inanda on how to establish vegetable gardens and what to plant when.

​

In October 2025, our cohort 2 learners are scheduled to go through basic end-user computer training in preparation for their tertiary studies and beyond. This training will be done in partnership with the eThekwini Municipality's Training Academy during the school holidays in October.

Sanitary pads have been distributed to all our girls in Cohort 1 and Cohort 2, as well as KwaMakhutha festival learners.

We assisted and paid for our Cohort 1 learners (48) tertiary applications, for their studies next year.
