About us
Who we are
We are a registered non profit company rendering professional services to the poor rural people in Limpopo. Dealing with substance abuse and gender based violence.
Drug abuse is a major contributing factor to violence against women. Partners who abuse drugs are more likely to be violence against their wife and girl children, this may involve not only sexual violence but also physical and psychological violence.
The increasing number of rape cases globally can also be attributed to increased drug use amongst youths and adults. Some drugs increase sex drive and affect the mind, hence leading to irrational decisions. Some drugs make you become violence. This is how drugs influence or increase violence against women.

offenders arrested for rape reported that they were under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crime.

Effective prevention of drug use addresses the vulnerabilities that put children and young people at risk of starting to use
drugs or other risky behaviours.
Families can be one of the strongest protective factors in the lives of children and early adolescence. Poor parenting, family
dysfunction, neglect and abuse are some of the strongest risk factors associated to a range of risky behaviours, including
substance abuse..
