Vuka Skhokho
Vuka Skhokho is a NPO that knows lowering drug demand in communities using current and relevant means is the only way this drug scourge will stop ravaging our communities. The age old adage “Prevention is better than Cure” has never been more pertinent. What distinguishes us from our counterparts is that our team is comprised of a diverse and eclectic team of former substance abusers who are extremely knowledgeable on both the theoretical and practical aspect of addiction and recovery. Not to be light-hearted on a crises that is quite literally destroying our communities we would however, like to emphasize that it is because we know first hand about substance abuse that we call ourselves “experts in the field” and are as a result better able to communicate in a more believable manner to our target group- which are the young and vulnerable in our communities. We do not only give out information in more accessible way, we also help them, the youth, come up with constructive, realistic and doable solutions and alternatives which we then help them implement.
None of these volunteers have any official training, We have done two one day workshops with the team. Our vision is to train each volunteer as a Life Skills coach equipping them to help the individuals they serve with life skills.

According to the Children’s Institute at UCT the effects of poor nutrition on children are far reaching. It is estimated that more than 200 million children under five years globally will not realise their full cognitive development due to poverty, lack of proper care, poor health and inadequate nutrition. Research suggests that poor nutrition affects the educational outcomes of children, adult working capacity and economic productivity.
In Johannesburg, 43% of the poor face starvation and malnutrition. Researchers believe the figure could be higher and every day thousands of children go hungry.
