What skills and resources were you able to draw from the community for this project?
Fear Free Life has been able to pool the knowledge and skills of former inmates to create a product and service offering they can provide to clients to support their initiative. They have also been able to find facilities from where they operate in a community they impact. Most of our members and program facilitators are inmates and former inmates that have gone through the full process of change and are now giving back to the community. This is based on the philosophy that says, ‘ it is only one who travelled the road before that will be able to explain it to those who are either to follow or avoid’.

The achievements
They have been able to set up offices and equip themselves to a position where they are able to pay rent. They have been able to capacitate themselves to such a point where they are able to offer some employment to former offenders that they have trained. They have since employed 40 ex-offenders as cleaners, site supervisors and office administrators. As an organisation Fear Free Life has been able to engage many correctional facilities and gain their cooperation in the fight against gangsterism in prisons. They have also been able to reach many schools and impact those communities by working with teenagers in gangs.Fear Free Life's progress has been evident due to its growth and spread from one prison to several other prisons in South Africa, and now it is reaching out to communities, taking a stand against substance abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence and crime. ]]> Education Wed, 14 Jun 2023 08:30:00 +0200 1 1 Fear Free Life 1 1 UJFM 95.4 full 22:15 UJFM Breakfast Show
