About Meropa Healing Organisation

Meropa Healing Organisation was founded in response to the high prevalence of gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF), poverty and unemployment in Rustenburg. We exist so that survivors are not left alone, and so that women and youth have a way out of poverty.

We are a registered non-profit (NPO 297-697). We support survivors emotionally, we create jobs through our social enterprises, and we work with communities to prevent violence before it happens.

We work in Paardekraal and Greater Boitekong, Rustenburg, North West, South Africa.
