HealingLeaves

Introduction

HealingLeaves is a community development organisation with a specific focus on offering education and empowerment to children who have experienced childhood trauma, as well as the adults who care for them.

About

HealingLeaves was founded by André and Dienie Kotze as a vehicle to support the most vulnerable people in their community of Cornelia in the Free State. Since its inception, HealingLeaves has grown into an organisation focused on youth development, job creation, education, and offering support to vulnerable children. Over the years, we have worked with Government, NGOs, and national and international partners to support those in need. Through our work in these areas, we recognised a great need for community intervention programmes specifically focused on supporting children who have experienced trauma, abuse, and neglect. This has led to the development of our H.E.L.P. – Helping Kids Cope training. The mission of HealingLeaves is to restore dignity to those who have experienced trauma, adversity, and shame.

Current Needs / Wish List

Our Self-soothing Toolkits are an important part of our H.E.L.P – Helping Kids Cope Programme. We assemble each toolkit individually, including various toys, sensory objects and tools which a child can use to help self-soothe and stimulate their senses when they are in distress. During the H.E.L.P. training, we teach participants how to use these tools and how to empower children to use their toolkits as healthy coping skills to deal with trauma and unpleasant feelings. Each toolkit also allows space for the child to include their own personal objects that help to calm them and bring them comfort. This is why it is ideal for each child to have their own toolkit, rather than to have children share a toolkit. Unfortunately, many families cannot afford a toolkit, so if you would like to sponsor a toolkit for a child in need, you can make a donation.
