Awareness & education

Community outreach & radio interviews

Recovery does not begin at our front gate. Beyond our sober living home, the Seopa Sengwe Foundation takes substance abuse awareness and education into schools, communities and onto the airwaves, so that people know the risks, know the signs and know where to find help.

How we reach communities

School & youth talks

We speak directly to learners about the realities of substance abuse, peer pressure and the choices that shape their future.

Community engagements

Facilitated sessions with families, churches and community structures on how to recognise, respond to and support addiction recovery.

Radio interviews

Our team shares recovery education and support pathways on radio, reaching thousands of listeners who may never walk through a centre's door.

Awareness campaigns

Substance abuse awareness drives, information sessions and mentorship that break the stigma around asking for help.

Radio interviews

Our team has shared recovery stories and substance abuse education on air, including interviews on 702 and Soweto FM's “My Journey to Recovery”, where our founder spoke openly about addiction and the choices that lead to change.
