Interview with Khulisa Social Solutions

Khulisa Social Solutions

 

Backchat was joined by the amazing Mandy from Khulisa Social Solutions (KSS) which is a multi-award winning, Non-Profit Organisation (NPO). Its aim is to empower vulnerable children, youth, those who are marginalized, and the community at large to unlock their full potential in order to develop resilient pathways and skills that lead to a sustainable future.



They operate nationally, employ over 180 staff through 16 offices, and work in approximately 150 communities in collaboration with 350 NGO partners, impacting on the lives of close to 100,000 people per annum.

 

Mandy shared with us why they mainly focus on teenage mother or teenagers in general. She believes that they are the ones that are not recognised enough.

 


Khulisa’s initial focus was to implement South Africa’s first official rehabilitation programme, targeted at young offenders. They then expanded their activities, primarily through peace-making and restorative approaches, to holistic community development tackling a wide range of issues countering social and economic inclusion

 

Mandy also stated that one of the main things they lack is funds because they are a NPO, that of course has its struggles and challenges but they always remain hopeful for the future.
