Khulisa Social Solutions is a South African non-profit organisation dedicated to strengthening communities and addressing complex social challenges such as inequality, violence, and social exclusion. Founded in 1997, the organisation works across multiple provinces to empower vulnerable children, youth, and families by helping them develop the skills, knowledge, and opportunities needed for a sustainable future. Through partnerships with government, NGOs, and the private sector, Khulisa focuses on rebuilding trust and creating pathways for long-term community development.
The organisation uses a collaborative, community-centred approach that addresses social problems in an integrated way rather than tackling issues individually. Khulisa’s programmes focus on areas such as youth and adult development, early childhood development, school support, restorative justice, and community leadership. By working with local stakeholders and organisations, Khulisa helps communities develop stronger relationships, resolve conflict, and build systems that support safety, opportunity, and social cohesion.
Over the years, Khulisa Social Solutions has expanded its reach to support more than 150 communities and collaborate with hundreds of partner organisations across South Africa. With a network of staff, volunteers, and community leaders, the organisation impacts the lives of thousands of people annually through capacity building, social programmes, and development initiatives. Through its long-term commitment to community empowerment, Khulisa continues to play a vital role in promoting inclusive growth, resilience, and sustainable social change.
