Jiwa's Initiatives, Causes and Support

Ububele Education Psychotherapy Trust

For the past five years, JIWA has proudly partnered with the Ububele Education Psychotherapy Trust in Kew, Alexandra. Ububele’s mission is to support children born into poverty, helping them grow into emotionally healthy adults, competent parents, and responsible citizens. JIWA currently sponsors the school fees for 10 learners, enabling them to access quality education and psychological support. Our close relationship with Ububele extends beyond financial support—we regularly attend school events, including their end-of-the-year awards ceremonies, where we witness firsthand the remarkable progress of the learners. We are immensely proud of their achievements and are committed to supporting their growth and development.
