Where do you go when you've lost everything?

In communities like the Cape Flats, addiction is not a bad choice.
It is often the only escape people know.

Recovery doesn’t fail people —
Systems fail people.

60%

of GBV and femicide cases in SA are alcohol-related

59% of SA drinkers binge drink

Be The Exception

Up to 58% of road deaths are alcohol-related

THE CRISIS

Too many young people grow up surrounded by addiction, violence, gangsterism, and hopelessness without the guidance or opportunities needed to discover their purpose.

 

At the same time, many recovering addicts leave rehab determined to change, only to return to the same environments and challenges that led them there in the first place.

Prevention, Recovery & Reintegration, and Hope Through Endurance
