Kwaluseni Emajaha Graduate in Community Leadership and Behavior Change Training
The Kwaluseni Emajaha Chapter wrapped up 2025 with a celebratory graduation for the Emajaha participants who completed an eight-session curriculum under the Litfuba Ngelakho–KNH Programme. The course covered essential topics such as violence against children, child rights, health, participation, gender norms, crime prevention, mental health awareness, and social responsibility.
The day was truly joyful. Graduates walked away with pride and a sense of accomplishment, now equipped with knowledge, confidence, and practical tools to handle life’s challenges. The certificates symbolized more than achievement, they signified each young man’s potential to become a responsible leader and positive role model if they apply what they learned.
Lessons extended beyond individual change, empowering them to challenge and transform harmful stereotypes within families and the wider Kwaluseni community. The event was enriched by the presence and speeches of parents, Kwaluseni Inkundla constituency representatives, Mr. Simanga Dlamini (LN Project Coordinator), REPS representatives, and local entertainers, who offered encouragement and reflections.
Emajaha animated the celebration with stage dramas that educated and entertained, while music, poetry and compelling testimonies from Kwaluseni Umphakatsi representatives energized the ceremony. These moments demonstrated that dedication and hard work can yield meaningful, lasting change.
Congratulations to all graduates, and best wishes as they make informed life choices and become transformed individuals at home, at school, and within the broader Kwaluseni community. Our sincere thanks go to the LN–KNH Programme for delivering critical lessons on life skills, behavioural change, gender-based violence, and related topics that promoted self-reflection and positive action.
