“Also, without the support of our local leaders, community and other NPOs, we would not have been able to successfully host this campaign.
“Therefore, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for the amazing work they did.”
The organisation offers counselling and support services to victims of GBV, as well as drugs and alcohol addicts.
They are situated at Setshabelp Temple 20 at 8109 Ramathibela Street in Duduza.
