Our Reach in South Africa
From community halls to clinics, our efforts focus on underserved communities most affected by violence and stigma.
Addressing GBV Through Education & Advocacy
- Recognizing the signs and cycles of GBV

All programming is delivered in partnership with community leaders, women’s groups, and mental health professionals to ensure cultural relevance and sustainability.
A Public Health and Human Rights Crisis
In South Africa, gender-based violence (GBV) remains one of the most pressing public health and human rights crises. Women and girls—especially in underserved communities—face high rates of trauma, social stigma, and a lack of access to safe spaces and mental health support.
At U-VOL Foundation, we believe that advancing women’s health includes advocating for their safety, amplifying their voices, and restoring their mental and emotional well-being. Through the ValueHer Initiative, we’re responding with compassion, education, and community-centered action.
Mental Wellness: At the Heart of Healing
- Providing mental health education and trauma-informed care training
- Hosting community forums focused on emotional resilience, anxiety, grief, and healing
- Offering resources and tools for coping with trauma and rebuilding after abuse
- Facilitating mentorship and peer support spaces for women and adolescent girls
These spaces offer community, validation, and safe support—because healing takes time, and no woman should do it alone.
Building Hope, One Conversation at a Time
The ValueHer Initiative in South Africa is restoring dignity and resilience—through education, trauma literacy, and youth-led empowerment.
When we value her safety and voice, we unlock her power.
