Transformed Community, Families & Lives

A Ripple Effect of Positive Change

Change Makers impact extends beyond individual transformations, contributing to a safer, more cohesive community.

Through outreach events, community service, and partnerships, we’ve fostered an environment where healing and growth are possible for everyone.

Gangs and those impacted by gang violence

Our outreach initiatives have bridged gaps between former rivals, turning adversaries into allies. By engaging in dialogues and shared activities, we’ve seen a noticeable decrease in gang violence in our neighbourhoods.

Youth

Youth outreach events in the community and surrounding farms call the next generation to a better life and highlights the inevitable hurt in drugs and gang life through first hand accounts.

Community Development

Change Makers partners with businesses and local government on town clean-up projects, and outreach schemes. This is an important process for Change Makers Programme participants in reconciling with the community and healing past hurt.

Community Events

We host community events in the heart of areas impacted by gangs, with our community braais a notable fixture. These have been influential in building a renewed sense of community.

Stories of Change and Hope

Change Makers is a testament to the power of transformation. Behind every success story is a journey of struggle, hope, and renewal. Here, we share the stories of men who have walked through the doors of Change Makers burdened by their past but have emerged as beacons of light for their families and communities.
