More about Community Wellness Project NPO

We empower members of our communities to live holistically healthier lives through various Educational and Clinical Services to increase Awareness and contribute to the Prevention and Awareness of HIV, TB, Sexually Transmitted Infections, and unwanted Teenage Pregnancies and Gender Based Violence. We provide Awareness and Prevention Training in Spaces of Learning, Businesses, Community Dialogues and Information through Publications and Pamphlets. Individuals and the communities they come from suffer from generational trauma from past history. Young people particularly experience a sense of disconnection and hopelessness. That results in self harm connected to substance abuse and GBV amongst others. Many young people and their communities often experience trauma, which can leave them vulnerable to issues such as gender-based violence, teenage pregnancies, and substance abuse. Our focus is primarily on boys and young men, as we aim to challenge and explore alternative ways to address the impacts of unprocessed trauma that is often at the heart of toxic masculinity. These impacts often manifest through gender-based violence and substance abuse. Lack of community support and peer pressure compounds the situation. Our approach is to raise awareness and build knowledge and skills about GBV, SRHR, Substance Abuse and holistic well-being to improve self-esteem, non-violent communication, and healthy sexuality in places of learning in the Garden Route and beyond. We believe that having brave conversations about how power is constructed in society will lead to healthier individuals and communities that trust themselves to find their own solutions.
