Khulisa Social Solutions (KSS) is a multi-award winning, Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) registered in 1997. Its aim is to empower vulnerable children, youth, those who are marginalized, and the community at large to unlock their full potential in order to develop resilient pathways and skills that lead to a sustainable future. We operate nationally, employ over 180 staff through 18 offices, and work in approximately 150 communities in collaboration with 350 NGO partners, impacting on the lives of close to 100,000 people per annum.

Khulisa’s initial focus was to implement South Africa’s first official rehabilitation programme, targeted at young offenders.  They then expanded activities, primarily through peace-making and restorative approaches, to holistic community development tackling a wide range of issues focused social and economic inclusion.

SUSCO has been working with Khulisa to build awareness around a number of their programmes that look at NGO capacitation and economic empowerment activities. This is primarily achieved through media, but has also been expanded through direct stakeholder engagement activities.
