We are thrilled to mark our 25th anniversary of serving communities throughout South Africa! This incredible milestone is a tribute to our dedicated staff and committed partners. Communities welcomed us and worked alongside us. The beneficiaries, families, and individuals shared their strengths, capacity and resilience and taught us the value of participatory collaboration. The people we served over the years proved they are inspired to create and maintain lasting change in their families and communities. We extend our deepest gratitude to every community member, stakeholder and partner, who has been part of our story.
