Cultural Dance Groups

These two dance groups, Congolese and Rwandan, support two primary aims:

  1. a. Income Generation - Through paid performances at cultural events around KZN, refugee women are able to showcase traditional dances from their home countries, promoting appreciation for various African cultures
  2. b. Trauma Therapy – Engaging in traditional dances from their home countries, the women testify that the mental and emotional effects regarding stress from a traumatic past experience from their home countries is alleviated while involved in this activity.

Catering Group

For events and holidays such as Heritage Day, the Catering Group offers an opportunity for refugee women to provide meals from their home countries and to generate income for themselves.
