About Khulisa

The key to a healthy South Africa lies in education, training and personal development that builds responsibility and discourages harmful behaviour.

This is the guiding vision offered by Khulisa Crime Prevention Initiative, a multi-award winning national non-profit organization that, over 11 years, has touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of South Africans. Its creative approach to dealing with problem solving and capacity building, primarily amongst the youth, has positioned it as one of the most effective crime prevention initiatives in our country. Through its evidence-based approach to programme evaluation, the organization is now backed by leading academic institutions.

Khulisa implements programmes that address all phases of the crime/justice cycle: in communities and schools.

Through diversion programmes, Khulisa works to keep young people out of adult correctional facilities. For those incarcerated, Khulisa offers several rehabilitation programmes. Working with families, communities and businesses, Khulisa promotes reconciliation and reintegration.

The organisation functions nationally, has multiple service points in six provinces and is expanding internationally.
