A learner came to CK not sure a safe space would help.

Over time, it did.

She told us it helps her feel calmer, and gives her room to process what she’s been through and understand herself better.

Then something beautiful happened - she began using what she’d learned to support a close friend going through something similar, encouraging and listening to her.

“I dream to make all my goals possible and to become the greatest version of myself in life.”

When a learner feels heard and supported, the impact doesn’t stop with her.

Did you know that there are almost 300 000 NPOs working in underserved South African communities?

This leaves funders with questions:
Which NPOs are credible?
Which NPOs can I trust?
Where will my donations have the biggest impact?

iZinga Assist is on a mission to address this gap. By verifiying NPOs, they are enabling trust, accountability and transparency.

Community Keepers proudly carries the iZinga Assist seal of verification.

... so that learning and development can prosper 💡

A learner reached out to us for support. She was struggling emotionally, finding things hard at home, and often missing school.

After a few months of sessions, she was attending school consistently, and both her emotional wellbeing and her schoolwork had improved.

On our practitioner’s last day at the school, she said the sessions had helped her grow, and that she felt happy again.

From overthinking to opening up 🌻

A learner who was worrying constantly and having regular anxiety attacks at school was referred to our office. We gave them a safe space to talk about what was weighing on them.

After a few sessions, they came back to tell us what had changed:

“Ever since I started coming here I feel so much better. Talking about my experiences has made so much difference, because I always kept things to myself and was always overthinking my challenges.”

Educator workshop in Franschhoek 🍎

Educators are essential building blocks of an environment of care.

When educators’ cups are full and their toolboxes are stocked with wellbeing tools for the classroom, learning can thrive.

Make the circle bigger 🩷

Did you know that our head office is at the The Sustainability Institute in Stellenbosch?

Not only that, but we are also based at the school on the premises, providing psycho-social support to the learners.

Today we were invited to an immersive experience at the SI - “A day in the life of an SI learner” 🎨🌿

We love being part of this community.
