Welcome To The Wholeful Healing Journey
Where survivors of domestic abuse embark on a journey of holistic healing.
Survivors graduate as accredited Beauticians
What is The Wholeful Healing Journey?
In The Wholeful Healing Journey, alongside music for wellness, survivors indulge in financial healing through skills training, small business management classes and financial literacy crash courses. Here, we nurture financial independence through skills and knowledge acquisition.
3,220$
Every cent donated goes towards the empowerment and enrichment of survivors. Through your donations, survivors attain skills, start-up capital, enrichment and so much more.
Impact
Since The journey’s founding, four survivors are now accredited Beauticians, three are seamstresses making and designing in high demand and 75% are debt free.
Statistics
In South Africa, one woman dies every six hours at the hands of her intimate partner. 80% of domestic abuse survivors live below the poverty line and 59% are unlikely to leave their abusers.
Empowering Survivors
Here, passions are monetized. Survivors who love design and clothmaking monetize their seamstress skills. With an array of finished goods, from bags to dashikis, their entrepreneurial journeys start with their love for their crafts.
Human Rights Awareness
The Wholeful Healing Journey is Wholeful because it’s holistically healing. Here we cater to all intersectional dire needs of survivors of abuse and human rights education is an aspect of our healing we hold dear. With the South African constitution as our guide, our human rights syllabus educates women with the necessary civic education to be knowledgeable practitioners of their human rights.
Holistic Healing
Although we don’t film our music therapy sessions, this is the part of the journey where we find peace, joy, and a medium of process in the beautiful complexity of music.
Support Groups
In The Wholeful Healing Journey, we don’t embark on this journey in isolation. We heal together with the support and camaraderie we build as a team. We are each other’s support system, celebrating our wins and mourning our losses together, as a community.
“We are each other’s strongest weapon”
