The institute provides art therapy and skills to children in need of healing.
A local community art counselling and training organisation provides safe spaces for children from Johannesburg’s inner city.
Lefika La Phodiso, which means the rock of holding and healing is located in Parktown. The organisation uses creative arts therapeutically to facilitate the recovery from trauma and is an emotionally safe space for children’s healing, which also empowers them to better navigate day-to-day challenges.
Kate Shand of fundraising and special projects at the organisation shared that much of the work at Lefika is made possible by volunteers and the organisation encourages people to participate by providing their training skills at no cost.
