Victim Empowerment Program

At Sizakuyenza, we recognize that ending Gender-Based Violence (GBV) requires more than individual interventions — it calls for collective action, awareness, and education within our communities.

Children and Families Program

At Sizakuyenza, we understand that children experience loss and grief in deeply personal ways that can affect their sense of safety, development, and wellbeing. Our specialised counselling service provides a safe and supportive space where children can express their feelings, process their experiences, and begin to heal.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

The program engages communities in Philippi and surrounding areas to prevent and respond to gender-based violence. Through awareness campaigns, door-to-door outreach, and community dialogues, we challenge harmful norms, promote safety, and encourage survivors to access available support services.

Stories of Hope

Behind every program we run and every service we offer, there are real people whose lives have been touched and transformed. Stories of Hope remind us why we exist: to provide safety, restore dignity, and open doors to new possibilities. They are a testament to the power of compassion, the impact of support, and the belief that no one’s past should define their future.

The home gave me more than just shelter — it gave me peace. For the first time in years, I felt seen, heard, and safe. I was treated with dignity and helped to believe in myself again.

I arrived with nothing but fear and pain. The care, counselling, and support I received helped me rebuild my life step by step. I now have hope and a future I never thought possible.
