Khulisa (meaning 'to nurture' in Zulu) is an award-winning national charity with South African roots. Their programmes have been successful in reducing violence and conflict in post-apartheid South African communities since 1997 and was first piloted in the UK in 2007.
Since then, Khulisa has developed a reputation as experts in reducing reoffending and crime by supporting young people and prisoners to explore the root causes of their disruptive or violent behavior. Often this behaviour is symptomatic of experiences of trauma, abuse and neglect.

It is now widely accepted that children's social skills (such as conscientiousness, self-discipline and perseverance) are more accurate predictors of their health, wealth and criminal history in later life than IQ or social background.
With 10 staff (including therapists and worker), they support 1,000 young people and train over 3,000 professionals each year. Khulisa's key partners include local authorities, schools and prisons. They are also members of London Youth, Clinks, the SCYJ and various other community groups that promote the wellbeing of vulnerable young people.
