“I have been working with the community to educate them about mental health, depression, HIV and Aids as well as other social issues affecting our communities today.

She says the organisation provides a platform for the community to discuss important issues.
“The organisation has created a safe space for people to express themselves and for us to empower each other by sharing our life’s personal experiences and challenges. People are able to reach out and seek help through the platforms we have created for them.
“We want to continue to aspire change in the lives of many people. In the near future, we would like to have our own centre where counselling can be at reach for anyone who might need it,” she says.
