Fusion shining a light for young people caught in cycles of destructive behaviour.

We also spoke to Clare Pretorius - Programme director of Fusion. She explained more about how they building meaningful relationships with broken young people caught in cycles of destructive behaviour. Founded in 2004 Fusion is a community-based NGO operating in Manenberg that aims to educate young people formerly involved in lifestyles of destruction in order to help them choose an alternative way of life. It involves one-on-one counselling, group support and refers young people to training courses such as bricklaying, catering and baking. They also recently took to the streets of Manenberg in an effort to stop the gang violence that’s flared up in the area over the past few weeks. Good Samaritans are encourage to make donations to Fusion as they hope to raise R360 000 for its annual operational costs.
