The
Chrysals Foundation
The Chrysalis
Foundation offers a life skills course for girls from 14 to 18 who have been physically and mentally traumatised, and are vulnerable in their communities
including those living in children's homes and places of safety. The purpose of
the course is to uplift, educate and equip the girls to not only be in a
position to cope with the crime perpetrated against them, but to also enable
them to reach their full potential.
The main
focus of the lectures is to impart knowledge and life skills to the students,
but vital therapeutic elements have been incorporated into the lecture modules
to address the trauma and the psychological damage done to the girls. The
results obtained to date have been phenomenal, and have been a life-changing
experience for the 1200 girls involved.
The course is
managed by a group of volunteer-businesswomen, and the lecturers are
acknowledged experts in their fields of endeavour. Each course is comprised of
16 lecture modules presented over 3 months, as well as skills-building group
activities, educational and cultural excursions, and takes place under the
guidance of psychologists and social workers.
Once the
students have successfully completed the course with both its practical and
therapeutic benefits there are a series of ongoing skills-development courses
and practical work experience opportunities available to them.
