PHOLA MAMA (Women and Girls)
This flagship programme addresses the psychosocial effects of violence, crime, and abuse on women and girls. We deliver mobile counselling services directly to underserved communities, partnering with local structures like schools, churches, and support groups.
Through group therapy, women collectively process trauma, rebuild confidence, and rediscover their strengths. They are guided to reimagine their futures and pursue meaningful, self-directed lives.
Participants may join the Phola Safe Spaces Program, where they engage in:
- Community-based discussions on challenges and solutions
- Leadership development
- Confronting harmful cultural practices
- Support for HIV-positive women and women with disabilities
- Accessing economic, social, and political opportunities
- Championing social change
- Addressing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR)
- Healing from trauma and achieving peace, dignity, and freedom
We also offer short-term accommodation and trauma counselling at our respite facility for women who have survived Gender-Based Violence (GBV).
