“We provide educational support to learners within the community.

“We assist them with school work, give tutorials and help them with homework.

“We also give talks on mental health in terms of emotional well-being, spiritual and physical wellness,” says Biyela.

“Mental health is a very important issue, which people still need to be educated on.

“We as an organisation saw a need to reach out within our communities by giving back, while also providing a platform to educate and share tools on how to deal with issues surrounding mental health.

“In December, we donated clothes to needy children in our community, which was warmly welcomed and the community got involved, which was the best part,” he adds.
