Discover the depth of our vision

Change Makers transforms the lives of men trapped in drug addiction or a gang lifestyle.

The six month, in house, Change Makers Programme, enables participants to break free from addiction or dependency, providing counselling to bring healing and self awareness, journeying through family and community reconciliation, and equipping them to thrive after the programme with job readiness and financial management training.

Through our initiative “Creating Futures”, we continue to journey with participants after the Change Makers Programme, supporting them as they grow into their potential as family and community leaders. Creating Futures helps participants build their future – providing skills training, supporting further secondary and tertiary education, and working with local businesses to secure jobs. We have also started three businesses, empowering past participants to run and grow these enterprises.
Change Makers has a vision of a transformed Breede Valley community, with our programme graduates leading this change. We are therefore at the forefront of community initiatives such as leading reconciliation events between gang members and the community, hosting community social events, holding bible studies for former gang members and drug addicts, and doing community upkeep.
