HealingLeaves is an organisation focused on youth development. Our specific focus is offering education and empowerment to children who have experienced childhood trauma, as well as the adults who care for them. Over the years, we have worked with Government, NGO’s as well as national and international partners to support those in need.
The mission of HealingLeaves is to restore dignity to those who have experienced trauma, adversity, and shame through community-based relational intervention programmes.
