WHO WE ARE

MBALI THE VILLAGE is a registered non-profit company based KwaNodalane, Izingolweni, Ray Nkonyeni Municipality. Izingolweni is a rural area with a high contingency of youth that are fending

for themselves, most of them lost their parents during the 1990's political violence. To this day the community has not recovered from those atrocities. Most of the homes are child-headed. Having grown

up in this area we discovered that most of the youth are unemployed.
